Shitou's unintentional challenge.

Another time Daowu asked, “What is the fundamental teaching of the Buddha Way?”

_

Master Shitou said, “Not attaining, not knowing – you already have it.”

_

Daowu asked, “Is there anything beyond this?”

_

The master said, “White clouds pass freely through the vast sky.”

_


_

White clouds pass freely through the vast sky.

_

Do you see?

_

If not, what will you do to 'know' or 'attain' seeing it?
