Lady Fan of the County, styled Daoist Jishou, studied under Foguo in Chengdu. Guo taught her to look into: 'It is not mind, it is not buddha, it is not a thing; what is it?' She was not allowed to offer words, nor was she allowed to open her mouth. Looking into it continuously, she found no point of entry and felt distressed. She then asked Foguo, "Aside from this, what expedient is there to make me understand?" Guo said, "There is an expedient: it is not mind, it is not buddha, it is not a thing." Shou had an awakening at this and said, "It turns out to have been this close!"
