Hekiganroku - Case 45: Joshu's "Cloth Robe" A monk asked Joshu, "The ten thousand Dharmas [1] come down to one. What does the one come down to?" Joshu said, "When I was living in the Province of Sei, I made a cloth robe. It weighed seven pounds." [1]: The word "Dharma" means here "phenomenon". "Ten thousand Dharmas" means, therefore, "all things that exist in the world of phenomena".
