耳根似颷谷投響 過而不留則是非俱謝 心境如月池浸色 空而不著則物我兩忘 (後 120)
Hearing by ear is like a whirlwind echoing in a valley. If there's nothing left right after having passed, thought of right and wrong goes away together. Landscape of mind is like the pond dyed by moonlight. If it being emptied and nothing attached, everything of 'mine' and 'I" disappear both. (Book2 120)
The mind of the past cannot be grasped, nor the mind of the future. What the hell where the present mind is? It is ironic that present consciousness is not to be the owner of mind.
