Master Yabo said, “A beautiful pearl is hidden in a shell. A beautiful gem is hidden in a stone. When we see things around us, it doesn’t seem to exist. However, there is nothing that isn’t revealing it.”
Student: “How is it when the gem doesn’t appear even when I break the stone into pieces?”
Master: “It is not broken.”
Commentary:
What can be broken is stone, and what cannot be broken is the gem.
