soon after this, according to the accounts given into biographical records, another enlightenment occurred occasion when the fragrant smell of plum blossoms was born to him on a nearby stream. And a little bit more aesthetically pleasing than gobs of bloody sputum falling down the walk go down the wall. One version of the of his biography links these two experiences together. The master frustrated in all his attempts to resolve the feeling of doubt which weighed so heavily on his mind became deeply disheartened. Signs of serious illness appeared, He began to cough up bloody bits of sputum. He screws did We were worse until death seemed imminent. He said to himself, everyone has to die. I'm not concerned about that. My regret is dying with a great matter I've been struggling with all these years since I was a small boy still unresolved. His eyes flushed with hot tears, his breath, breast heaved violently. It seemed his drip, his ribs would burst, thin, and just at that moment, enlightenment came to him, like the bottom falling out of a bucket, immediately herself began to return. But still he seemed unable to express what he had realized. Then, one day, in the early hours of the morning, the scent of plum blossoms carried to him in on the morning ear, reached his nostrils. At that instant, all attachments and obstacles were swept from his mind once and for all, the doubts that have been plaguing him ceased to exist. So, these two experiences changed everything. And he, once he got strong enough, once this health was good enough for him to travel, he made his way back to Zoo Yoji to tell UNPO what had happened. And of course, on Paul was was overjoyed, that is the marrow of Bodhidharma has bones he is said to have cried from now on, no one will anywhere will be able to touch you, he said acknowledging bunkers understanding when he says no one says no one will anywhere will be able to touch you in what he's meaning is that with with this expense experience, bank he has become imperturbable. No matter what might happen. He won't be shaken by it. He told him however, that he should obtain very a cat verification from other masters Gudo Tor Shaku the most highly regarded Rinzai Zen teacher of the day was the man on Paul recommended. Pancake who was now 26 proceeded to the province of meno present Gifu prefecture where gudas Temple dicin G was located. But unfortunately Gudo wasn't there, he spent a good amount of his time traveling around to all his sub temples teaching and he was away in Adel wind bank, he came to visit him. So, bank A then then decided he would try his luck with some of the other Zen teachers in the vicinity. But he was pretty disappointed by them, none of them were able to give him the confirmation that he was after. So, he then spends more time in the Hermitage is done different places around the hills of meno which were forested. And the writer of this introduction says, he applied himself to the important post enlightenment phase of his training. This this is considered very important to, to integrate the insight that one has and an in awakening into one's understanding. And he apparently spent some of his time considering what would he would, how he would teach as he has in the future. To respond to people's needs, and to teach in a way that people could understand and, and make real for themselves. Then in 1651, when he was still engaged in the spirit of affliction, news reached him of a Chinese priest called dosha who had was visiting at the port of Nagasaki and so Ron Paul organized to travel to Nagasaki to see what this Chinese priests might have to offer and whether he could confirm his understanding.
