The Zen master/teacher at one of the Zen monasteries in the U.S. spoke about an incident when he was a student. He had this anger in him about something and, when he saw his old Zen teacher walking towards him, he quickly put on a serene, spiritual face. When he passed the teacher, he bowed and gave a serene smile. When the teacher was 3 steps past him, the teacher made a puking sound because he saw through the delusion and the mask. This made the student even angrier. But it ultimately allowed him to see the ego masks that we put on and to see what he was doing. Can anyone relate in their daily lives?
