Case 52: Joshu's Stone Bridge A monk asked Joshu, "For a long time, the stone bridge of Joshu [1] has echoed in my ears. But now that I've come here, I just see a log bridge." Joshu said, "You simply see a log bridge; you don't see the stone bridge yet." The monk said, "What is the stone bridge?" Joshu said, "It lets donkeys cross, it lets horses cross." [1]: (same note as case 9) The name of the Zen Master Joshu is taken from the city "Joshu", near which he taught.
