He had lost his reputation, but he looked after the baby with great solicitude.After a year the girl could not stand it any longer and she told the parents the truth: the child's real father was a young fisherman. Mother and father immediately went to Hakuin to make all their apologies, and to take the baby back.Hakuin made no objection. In surrendering the child, all he said was, "Oh! Is that so?"

An unsettling story on so many levels.
Thankfully DNA tests have put an end to such problems.

Don't tell me you missed the point of the story? Whether it rains or it's sunny, whether he wins a million in the lottery or goes bankrupt, his reaction will always be: "Is that so?"...... Wonderful! A great teaching...

Oh I did get it: Never complain and such. Acceptance…
No, thanks. That girl should be punished. The only part that saves her from being [swear words go here] , is that she confessed her defamation eventually. Admitting the own faults isn't easy. Even taking the confession in account, there should be some consequences.

From the perspective of the common (rational, logical) mindset this is true: Offense=>punishment. Instead in the spiritual perspective, this is true: "His Will be done, whatever happens. Amen."

Since we live in the real world and not in Cloud Cuckoo Land, even a Zen master shouldn't stay indifferent and allow to get some child affiliated.
The practical, real life consequences are too numerous to list them.
I can only advise a man who is sure to answer: Come along, milady. Let us head to the laboratory.

The master would laugh at your so-called practical consequences and will go back to admiring the cherry blossoms, at the foot of Mount Fuji.

I'm currently very busy with trying to be logical: Writing an article vastly expanding my last blog entries (and the corresponding tiny C program; I can tell you programming is hell for my damaged brain).
Passionate about getting this done though!
I've some possible (illegal) consequences in mind; not suitable for posting on GBAtemp. Let's say, the master would maybe not be able to walk back to the cherry blossoms.
