To-Sui was the Zen master who left the formalism of temples to live under a bridge with beggars. When he was getting very old, a friend helped him to earn his living without begging. He showed To-Sui how to collect rice and manufacture vinegar from it, and To-Sui did this until he passed away.
While To-Sui was making vinegar, one of the beggars gave him a picture of the Buddha. To-Sui hung it on the wall of his hut, and put a sign beside it.
It read: Mr. Amida Buddha-This little room is quite narrow. I can let you remain as a tran-sient. But don't think I am asking you to help me to be reborn in your paradise.
