' The Void '...

Tesshu was a renowned sword fighter and zen adept.

He visited Dokuon and declared portentously that everything that existed was a pure void, that neither he nor Dokuon really existed but just imagined they were there.

Master Dokuon said nothing while Tesshu preached away, but when he had finished he picked up his long smokers pipe and gave Tesshu a smart blow on the head.

Tesshu was so angry at this that he almost killed Dokuon and would have done so if the Master had not said,

"The void is very soon aroused to anger, I see..."

Tesshu smiled weakly and departed.
