Hekiganroku - Case 74: Kingyu's Rice Bucket At each meal, Master Kingyu himself would bring the rice bucket to the front of the Zen hall, dance there and laugh loudly, saying, "Dear Bodhisattvas, come and eat rice!" (Setcho said, "Although he behaved that way, he was not being kind.") A monk asked Chokei, "An ancient worthy said, 'Dear Bodhisattvas, come and eat rice.' What does it mean?" Chokei said, "That is exactly like praising and giving thanks to the rice."
