Chan Master Yuan said: "For example, there is a large stone in the house, on which one usually sits or lies. If someone makes it into a Buddha statue, the citta forms an understanding of Buddha and, fearing sin, dares not sit on it. These are all drawn by the brush-tip of the manovijñāna; one busies oneself and frightens oneself. Within the stone, there is truly neither sin nor blessing."
