Joshu asked Nansen, "What is the Way?"
Nansen replied, "Ordinary mind is the Way."
Joshu asked, "Then may I direct myself towards it or not?"
Nansen, "To seek It is to deviate from It."
Joshu, "If I do not seek, how can I know about the Way?"
Nansen, "The Way does not belong to 'knowing' or 'not knowing'. To know is
to have a concept; to not know is to be ignorant. If you truly realize the
Way of no doubt, it is just like the sky: wide open vast emptiness. How can
you say 'yes' or 'no' to it?
At these words, Joshu had sudden enlightenment. His mind became like the
clear moon.
