Dean continues his talks on Koans; this week he discusses Case 7 from the Mumonkan Joshu's Wash Your Bowl.

A highly motivated monk told Joshu: "I have just entered the monastery. Please teach me."

Joshu asked: "You have not even finished your rice porridge."

The monk replied: "I have eaten enough."

Joshu said: "Then you'd better wash your bowl."

At that moment the monk was enlightened.
