Liara Covert in Value Tales, Zen koans

Dogo paid a visit to his sick fellow monk, Ungan.

"Where can I see you again if you die and leave only your corpse?" Dogo asked. "I will meet you where nothing dies," Ungan replied. Dogo criticized his response saying,

"What you should have said is that there is no place where nothing is born and nothing dies and that we need not see each other at all."

This Zen koan is taken from the book Zen Koans by Venerable Gyomay Kubose copyright © 1973; published by Henry Regnery Company. In that text also lie possible answers to the various koans.
