Hekiganroku - Case 80: Joshu and a "Newborn Infant" A monk asked Joshu, "Does a newborn infant have the Six Functions [1] or not?" Joshu said, "Throwing a ball on the swift current." The monk asked also Tosu, "What does 'throwing a ball on the swift current' mean?" Tosu said, "Every consciousness flows without ceasing." [1]: Cf. the note to case 47.
