The student Doko came to the master and said:
In what state should I seek the truth?
The master replied:
There is no mind, so you cannot put it in any state, and there is no
truth, so you cannot seek it.
Doko said:
If there is no mind and no truth why do all these students get their
before you everyday to study?
The master looked around and said:
I don't see anyone
the inquisitor asked:
Then who are you teaching?
I have no tongue, so how can I teach? replied the master.
Then Doko said soberly
I cannot follow you, I cannot understand
The master said
I don't understand myself
