3.42

[The Master] cited: Jiashan said: “Before the eyes there are no phenomena; the meaning lies before the eyes. It is not a phenomenon before the eyes, nor is it reached by ear or eye.”
The Master said: “Old man Jiashan untied the mouth of the cloth bag and scattered rare treasures in front of everyone. Just at such a moment, how is it? No one picks up things dropped on the road; the gentleman praises it.”
