[The Master] cited: "A monk asked Zhaozhou: 'Before the world existed, this nature already was; when the world is destroyed, this nature is not destroyed. What is the undestroyed nature?' Zhaozhou said: 'The four great elements and five aggregates.' The monk said: 'These are still subject to destruction; what is the undestroyed nature?' Zhaozhou said: 'The four great elements and five aggregates.'" The Master said: "A thousand-foot cold pool, clear to the bottom."
