Initially resistant to confess, the anxious and embarrassed girl finally accused Hakuin, the Zen master whom everyone in the village deeply revered by living life worthy. When outraged parents confronted Hakuin with the charge of his daughter, he simply said: Really? When the child was born, her parents brought her to Hakuin, who now was viewed as a pariah for all the region. They demanded that he take care of the child, since this was his responsibility. Really? Hakuin said calmly as he accepted the child. For many months he lovingly nursed the child until the day the girl did not endured longer sustain the lie and confessed that the real father was a young man from the village who she was trying to protect. Parents were immediately Hakuin, embarrassed, to see if he could return the custody of the baby. With profuse apologies they explained what had happened. Really? Hakuin said as he returned the child.
