Frequently the Zen masters refered to each other as
"Old rice bags" and with other uncomplimentary terms,
not out of any proffessional jealousy, but because it amused
them to think that they and their wise and venerated brothers
were supposed by ordinary standards to be so
especially holy, whereas they had all realised that everything was holy,
even cooking pots and odd leaves blown by the wind, and that there
was nothing particularly venerable about themselves.
