‘Zen master Doushuai Congyue entered the hall and addressed the monks, saying, “When a person’s eyes and ears are clear, then he resides in a remote mountain valley. The autumn wind rustles the ancient pines and the autumn moon reflects from the cold waters. A patch-robed monk who reaches that place must go still further to realize the truth, for this is still just two apes with four tails hanging down.”
After saying this the master shouted.’ (Zen’s Chinese Heritage)
And where do you think you find this truth still further?
