 Joshu's Dog
Joshu says, “Because it has karmic consciousness.” The intention of this expression is that even though the reason it exists is karmic consciousness and to have karmic consciousness is the reason it exists, the dog is without anything, and the Buddha-nature is without anything.
Joshu says, “It exists.” The situation of this “It exists” is beyond the “existence” of scholastic commentary teachers and the like, and beyond the dogmatic “existence” of the Existence School.
Joshu says, “Because it knowingly commits a deliberate violation!” As a secular saying these words have long since spread through the streets, but now they are Joshu’s expression of the truth.

 The Zen Koan and Meaning of "MU"
Joshu (A.D. 778-897) was a famous Chinese Zen Master who lived in Joshu, the province from which he took his name.
The only purpose of his response was to break the monk of rational thinking in trying to understand the truth of Zen and to get him to aspire to a higher understanding of reality beyond affirmation and negation, in which all contradictions disappear on their own.
Joshu's "MU" is neither a yes nor a no. It is an answer that surpasses the opposition of yes and no and directly points to Buddha-nature, to the reality beyond yes and no.

 Mt. Baldy/Text&Teachers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
In a very traditional manner, Joshu serves as roshi, or "venerable spiritual teacher." His "function is to guide and inspire his students along the path to self-realization" (Kapleau 1965, 342).
Joshu Roshi is a roshi in the traditional sense of one who had mastered the Dharma so that it is a part of him, so that he is able to lead others to master the Dharma in the same way.
There was a suggestion made that, because of Joshu's background in which his training began in the early part of this century, he maintains traditional standards with a rigor no longer practiced in Japan, and so seems old-fashioned to the younger members of the school that sent him out.
