Daily Zen Quote - June 7, 2013

Master Seisetsu was on a fund-raising mission for his temple when a merchant came and brought 500 yen. The master received the money, but without saying thanks. After a bit the merchant said, "500 yen is a lot of money, and yet you have no words of appreciation?"
     Immediately the master said, "You're the one who has done a good thing. Why must I thank you?"
     With that the merchant understood what the highest good is.
