8.44

Instructing the assembly, he brought up [the following]: "Layman Pang said: 'The mind is as such, the objective realm is also as such; neither real nor unreal. Not concerned with existence, not restricted by non-existence; not a sage or worthy, but an ordinary fellow who has finished his business.'" The Master said, "Pure white, clean and desolate, water cannot wet it, fire cannot burn it—what is it? You must by no means ask about it; if you ask about it, your eyes will be blinded." He struck the incense stand once with his staff.
