The Mumonkan, Case 16: When the Bell Sounds
Unmon said, "The world is vast and wide.
Why do you put on your seven-piece robe at the sound of the bell?"
Wandering Ronin commentary: The sound of a bell and the sound of a voice travels throughout the universe and back again in a single moment. Do we truly hear each other as we speak, and is the sound of the bell somehow more pure? Let us listen to the vast and wide world and share what we have learned. The crack of thunder can be heard upon the knock of a staff at the door.
