Daily Zen Quote - July 15, 2013

A Zen master was about to die. He called the disciple who was to be his successor and began dictating his will in great detail.
"Please rest, Master," the disciple said. "I can follow these instructions."
But the master persisted in going over the details of his will, backward and forward, until finally the disciple shouted: "Shut up!"
"Ah," said the Master, "I am so happy to have such a trustworthy son as you." He then passed away in peace.
