He asked a monk, "What sūtra are you reading?"
The monk said, "The Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra."
The Master said, "Does the sūtra say that 'all-knowledge (sarvajñajñāna) is pure'?"
The monk said, "Yes."
The Master said, "Why have your eyes pierced right through the pomegranate tree?"
The monk said, "Where is the ancient?"
The Master said, "The ancient indeed knew, but it is you who do not know."
There was no reply.
Answering on their behalf, [the Master] said, "There are plenty of people who do not recognize the situation."
