Yaoshan talked in silence in a Koan.Usually, people say that his silence is a special speech without words. However, in this dictionary, we define it as a practical lesson: "Do not wait for help from other people. You must find the truth by yourself."
A: In Zen, doing and finding things by yourself is very important. Many Zen masters say that you should not depend on other people or places. You must learn by yourself. However, it is very difficult for many people to understand the truth alone. That is why we have these Koans and books. This story is similar to the first story of this book because both masters used silence to teach.
