He cited: "Because a monk asked, 'How can one realize that the nature of hearing does not follow conditions?', Upādhyāya Daochang Ne said: 'Listen and see.' The monk bowed. [Dao]chang said: 'A deaf person also sings the songs of foreign lands, unaware of good or bad, high or low.' The monk said: 'The nature of hearing is completely clear.' [Dao]chang said: 'Rocks stand upright in empty space; fire burns inside water.'"
