Hekiganroku - Case 36: Chosa Goes Picnicking One day, Chosa went for a walk in the mountains. When he returned to the gate, the head monk said, "Where have you been, Master?" Chosa said, "I was out walking about in the mountains." The head monk said, "Where did you go?" Chosa said, "First, I went following the scented grass; then came back through the falling flowers." The head monk said, "It sounds very much like a spring mood." Chosa said, "It's better than the autumn dew dropping on the lotus flower." (Setcho commented, "I am grateful for that answer.")
