Words generally point only to more words. The Monk asked the Zen master, " What is Budha nature? The mastr replied, " Those who speak, don't know; those who know, don't speak. " " Aren't you speaking now? " reposted the monk. The Master slapped his ear hard. " Ouch! " screamed the monk. " Well said! " " I didn't say anything. " replied the monk. The Master slapped him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
