Guichen asked, “Where are you going?”
Fayan replied, “On an ongoing pilgrimage.”
Guichen said, “Why do you go on a pilgrimage?”
Fayan replied, “I don’t know.”
Guichen said, “Not knowing is most intimate.”
At these words Fayan instantly experienced enlightenment.
From The Transmission of the Lamp (secondary source)
wrrdgrrl: The pilgrimage is ongoing. The experience of enlightenment is instant. What else is there to claim?
