He brought up: "An ancient said: 'If one place is not penetrated, merit is lost in two places; if two places are not penetrated, wherever you turn becomes an obstruction.'" The Master held up his staff and said, "Mountains, rivers, the great earth, and the buddhas of the three periods of time are all on the tip of the staff—what obstruction could there be? Right now it is light; where did the dark go? Just this light is dark. All sentient beings are merely separated and obstructed by form and emptiness, light and dark, and thereupon see phenomena of arising and ceasing."
