Master Hsiang-yen asked a monk, "Do you understand the
meaning of Wei-shan holding up his stick?"
The monk replied, "The master's idea was to point to
objective reality - to demonstrate the Truth beyond concepts."
"Your theories are alright, but limited," said Hsiang-yen.
"What is your understanding then?" asked the student.
Hsiang-sen held up his teaching stick.
As before, the teaching stick was a call to leave mind behind
and embrace Buddha nature, the perfection of all, ie: there is
no understanding needed.
