Zen Pigs Funnies. From 101 Zen Piglet Tails. Number Eight: Great Waves.
Panel 1: A long time ago, there was a wrestler called Onami,
<Great Waves>.
Panel 2: Onami was very strong and skillful. In private matches,
he threw even his teachers.
Panel 3: But in public matches, he was so bashful even jobbers
could throw him.
Panel 4: Onami decided to seek help from a Zen master, Hakuju, who
was at a nearby temple.
Panel 5: `Your name is Great Waves', said Hakuju, `so stay in this
temple tonight and meditate.'
Panel 6: `Imagine you are those waves. You are no longer a
wrestler: you are those huge waves, sweeping all before you!'
