The foolish reject what they see and not what they think; the wise reject what they think and not what they see.
Huángbò Xīyùn
[As quoted in Visions from Earth, 2004, by James R. Miller, p.17]
Huángbò Xīyùn: (simplified Chinese: 黄檗希运; traditional Chinese: 黄檗希運; Wade–Giles: Huang-po Hsi-yün; literally: "Xiyun of Mt. Huangbo", Japanese: Ōbaku Kiun) (died 850) was an influential Chinese master of Zen Buddhism during the Tang Dynasty. Huángbò was a disciple of Baizhang Huaihai (720-840), and the teacher of Linji Yixuan (died 866) (Wade–Giles: Lin-chi I-hsüan; Japanese: Rinzai Gigen).
Wandering Ronin commentary: I could be wrong of course, but this seems to further reinforce the notion that all concepts are false. If we refuse to hold on to binding concepts, and if we don't allow our minds to settle on particular beliefs, attachments or aversions, something appears instantaneously.
