Master Nanyue Rang said to his group, “All phenomena arise from mind. If you reach the ground of mind, your activities will be uninhibited.”
A monk asked, “Suppose a mirror molds an image—after the image forms, where has the shine gone?” He said, “It’s like your appearance before you were ordained, Reverend—where’s that gone?”
The monk asked, “After formation of the image, why doesn’t it reflect?” He said, “Even if it doesn’t reflect, you still can’t deceive it at all.”

ewk note: Reverend! Reverend! Where has it gone? But say, where has it gone? What do people look for in a mirror, or a teacher for that matter?
