Is everything mind? Fayan (pre-awakening) discovers:

When the snow was gone, the three monks bade farewell and started to depart.

_

Dizang accompanied them to the gate and asked,

_

“I’ve heard you say several times that ‘the three realms are only mind and the myriad dharmas are only consciousness.’

_”

Dizang then pointed to a rock lying on the ground by the gate and said, “So do you say that this rock is inside or outside of mind?”

_

Fayan said, “Inside.”

_

Dizang said, “How can a pilgrim carry such a rock in his mind while on pilgrimage?”

_

Dumbfounded, Fayan couldn’t answer.

_


_

So, is everything mind?
