A monk asked, “What is liberation?” He [Shitou] said, “Who binds you?” The monk said “No one binds me.” He said, “Who seeks liberation?”
Note: Brackets mine.
Sound familiar? Very reminiscent of Bodhidharma and the 2nd patriarch's conversation. Who binds us? Are we even bound? Would I even be asking about being bound if no one had told me I was bound at some point in my life?
