Zen Garden Koan # 12
Death
Mummu and a monk were sitting at a table when a mouse ran by and out the door. A bit later, a cat came in with the mouse in its jaws. Mummu observed, "That mouse has passed through a Door of Experience."
The monk exclaimed, "But Master, the mouse is dead!"
And Mummu replied, "Then so must you be."
