Master Yunmen cited the words of Mr. Bao:
Just as my "I" is empty, all separate entities (dharmas) are empty. This applies to all there is, regardless of its kind.
Master Yunmen said, "[Yet] when you stand you're not aware of standing, and when you walk you're not aware of walking; and the four major elements [which constitute the physical universe] and the five components [of living beings] cannot be grasped. Come on, where do you see the mountains and rivers and the earth? You, just you who every day take your bowl and eat rice: what do you call 'rice'? Where is there a single grain of rice?!"
- Urs App's "Zen Master Yunmen", section 163
