‘Changqing asked Baofu Congzhan, “Seeing form is no other than seeing mind. Do you see a boat?”
Baofu said, “Yes I do.”
Changqing said, “Putting the boat aside, what is mind?”
Baofu pointed at the boat.’ (Shinji Shobogenzo)
While I was preparing last week’s Yangshan post, I searched for where I had previously mentioned the cypress tree, and came across this post, which I had quite forgotten about. What is mind, apart from the boat?
