Wuye respectfully kneeled down, and said, "I have studied the texts that contain the teachings of the three vehicles and have been able to roughly understand their meaning. I have also often heard it about the Zen school that mind is Buddha: this is something I have not yet been able to understand."
The Patriarch said, "This very mind that does not understand is it. There is no other thing."
Wuye further asked, "What is the mind-seal that the Patriarch has secretly transmitted from the West?"
The Patriarch said, "The Venerable looks rather disturbed right now. Go and come some other time."
As Wuye was just about to step out, the Patriarch called him, "Venerable!" Wuye turned his head and the Patriarch asked him, "What is it?" Wuye experienced awakening. He bowed to the Patriarch, who said, "This stupid fellow! What is this bowing all about?"
"This very mind that does not understand is it."
How will you ahold of that?
