Huineng Houdini

One day the master announced to the assembly, “I have a thing without head or tail, without name or title, without front or back. Do you know what it is?”

Shenhui came forth and said, “It is the fundamental source of the buddhas. It is my buddha-nature.”

The master said, “I told you it was without name or title, but you have called it the fundamental source, the buddha-nature. You’ve just covered your head with thatch. You’ve become a follower with only discriminative understanding.”

words words words words words... grammar.
