Conversational Capacity

From here.

One time the Master said, "If you would experience that which transcends even the Buddha, you must first be capable of a bit of conversation."

A monk asked, "What kind of conversation is that?"

"When I am conversing, you don't hear it, Acarya," said the Master.

"Do you hear it or not, Ho-shang?" asked the monk.

"When I am not conversing, I hear it," replied the Master

"Experience that transcends even the Buddha."--That's a tall order for anyone that believes the Buddha is an authority on Zen.

Can you hear it now or not?
