風外本高 Fūgai Honkō (1779-1847)
「風外本高像」 横山雲安画
Portrait of Fūgai by 横山雲安 Yokoyama Unan (1814-1880)
名古屋市博物館蔵 Nagoya City Museum
The name "Fūgai" literally means "Outside the Wind," which signifies an existence beyond the cares of everyday life.
He painted in both Zen and Nanga styles and was strongly influenced by the works of
池大雅 Ike no Taiga (1723-1776).
Fūgai Honkō (1779-1847) should not be confused with the famous Sōtō priest and painter Fūgai Ekun 風外慧薰 (1568-1654), especially since Honkō was also a gifted calligrapher. Concerning Honkō, his ordination name should accurately be written Honkō 本光 rather than 本尚，but the second writing of his name has become customary.

This kōan collection had been first compiled in 1783 by Genrō Ōryū, who added his commentary to each kōan in poetry and prose. Later (1788), Genrō's chief disciple, Fūgai Honkō added his own “capping phrases” (jakugo 著語）to the text.

ZEN ANECDOTE
in: ZEN: Poems, Prayers, Sermons, Anecdotes, Interviews
Translated by Lucien Stryk & Ikemoto Takashi [池本喬, 1906-1980]
Anchor Books, Doubleday & Co., Inc., Garden City, New York, 1963.
The master Fugai, a fine painter and a successor to Motsugai*, the famous Fist Bonze, was considered very wise and generous, yet he was most severe, both to himself and his disciples. He went to a mountain cave to sit in Zen, and when hungry would come to the village for scraps.
One day a monk called Bundo, attracted by Fugai's austerities, called at the cave and asked the master whether he could spend the night. The master seemed happy to put him up, and next morning prepared rice gruel for him, but not having an extra bowl, he went out and returned with a skull found lying near a tomb. He filled it with gruel and offered it to Bundo. The guest refused to touch it, and stared at Fugai as if he thought him mad. At this Fugai became furious and drove him from the cave with blows. “Fooll!” he shouted after him, “how can you, with your worldly notions of filth and purity, think yourself a Buddhist?”
Some months later the master Tetsugyu** visited him and told him frankly that he thought it a great pity that he had so completely forsaken the world.
Fugai laughed loudly and said, “Oh, it's easy enough to forsake the world and become a bonze. The difficult thing is then to become a true Buddhist.”
It is told that Fugai met his end in an extraordinary manner Feeling his last day had come, he quickly had a hole dug and, standing in it with great dignity, had himself covered with earth.

69. Eating the Blame
Circumstances arose one day which delayed preperation of the dinner of a Soto Zen master, Fukai, and his followers. In haste the cook went to the garden with his curved knife and cut off the tops of green vegetables, chopped them together and made soup, unaware that in his haste he had included a part of a snake in the vegetables.
The followers of Fugai thought they never tasted such good soup. But when the master himself found the snake's head in his bowl, he summoned the cook. "What is this?" he demanded, holding up the head of the snake.
"Oh, thank you, master," replied the cook, taking the morsel and eating it quickly.

69. Lenyelni a szégyent
Fordította: Terebess Gábor (Shaku Genshō)
A Kőrösi Csoma Sándor Intézet Közleményei, 1975. 3-4. szám, 68. oldalVáratlan vendégek érkeztek a kolostorba, és a szerzetes-szakács az összekapkodott zöldséggel, nyisz-nyisz, a nagy sietetségben egy kígyót is beleaprított a levesbe, anélkül, hogy észrevette volna.
Az ebéd közepe táján hívatták és Fúgai* mester egy hang nélkül elétartotta a kígyó fejét. A szakács kiragadta a mester ujjai közül a kígyófejet, egy „köszönömmel" lenyelte, és kisietett a teremből.* Fūgai Honkō (風外本高 1779-1847)
