1.59

Ascending the hall, [the Master] said: "The sound of bells and the chirping of sparrows can tally with the true source; seeking elsewhere in haste creates superfluous entanglements in vain. If you believe it, it is like blowing on a fire with the wind; if you do not believe it, it is digging a pit on level ground. Having no other choice, models and molds were set up; therefore on Vulture Peak the moon was spoken of, and at Caoxi the moon was pointed out. Where is the moon? Point it out for me to see! I tell you chan monks frankly: do not look for it up in the sky!"
