27.92

A monk from Baofu arrived at Dizang. Upādhyāya Dizang asked, "How is the Buddha Dharma over there?" The monk said, "Baofu sometimes instructed the assembly, saying: 'Block your eyes so that you cannot see; block your ears so that you cannot hear; sit upon your intellect so that you cannot conceptualize.'" Dizang said, "I ask you: without blocking your eyes, what do you see? Without blocking your ears, what do you hear? Without sitting upon your intellect, how do you conceptualize?" (Dongshan Qi said, "Having heard this, that monk suddenly awakened and no longer wandered elsewhere. Can you sthaviras do this nowadays? If you do not understand, what do you see every day?")
