1.34

The postulant Chigan heard the sound of the bell and thereupon asked, "Is the bell struck because there are ears, or struck because there are no ears?" The Master said, "Just ask; do not worry that I cannot answer." The postulant said, "I have already asked long ago." The Master shouted and said, "Be off!" Censor Liu asked, "May I hear the essential purport of realizing the mind?" The Master said, "If you want to realize the mind, there is no mind to realize; the mind of non-realization is called true realization."
