AP: You have stuff in the Zen tradition where one fellow goes to a common woman dealing with let’s say cowdong and he looks at those cakes of cowong and asks her what is this cowdong?
And the lady replies the Buddha and the story says in that moment the inquirer was enlightened and it sounds very strange how is it possible but that’s what the Zen tradition says and there are several small stories and Koans of this nature that merely means that The seeker was already very ripe. The process of questioning, the urge to know was always there. And then something happened and that led to him taking one more step towards the direction of realization. That’s all that is there.
