筠州洞山悟本禪師語錄 1.5

1.5

When the Master was young, he followed a master. While reciting the Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya, he came to the passage 'no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind.' He suddenly touched his face with his hand and asked his master: 'I have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and so forth; why does the sūtra say they do not exist?' His master was astonished and marvelled at him, saying: 'I am not your teacher.' He immediately directed him to Mount Wuxie to pay reverence to Chan Master Lingmo.
