Which dog took the better part?
Master Basho said to his disciples, "If you have the staff, I will give it to you. If you have no staff, I will take it away from you!"
From whom did the dog take the better part?

No. No, you're not.
I hope that dog bites Master Joshu right in the nuts.
Does the dog have Buddha nature, or, don't the dog have Buddha nature? Master Joshu seems to be an ambivalent little fuck, don't he? And who the fuck is Master Basho? What the fuck does he have to do with anything? And, what
staff? A walking stick? People who work for the monk? Why are the people who work for the monk being taken away? What happens to them? Where do they go? If I have a walking stick, why do I need another one? Is Master Basho taking me skiing? How does Master Basho get the time off? He don't do shit around here, except strut around making confusing statements.
Who the fuck do these flea-bitten monks think they are, anyway?
