3.35

Ascending the hall: "'Hearing sounds, one awakens to the Way; seeing forms, one clarifies the mind.'" Suddenly taking up his staff, he said: "This is form." Striking once, he said: "This is sound. All of you see and hear everything; yet which is the mind that is clarified, and which is the Way that is awakened to?" He gave a shout and said: "Coveting another's single grain of rice, you lose half a year's provisions." He struck once again.
