A monastic asked Master Dongan, “What is the teacher of heaven and human beings like?” The master answered, “He has no horns on his head and no hair on his body.”
Student: “Why is he the teacher of the heaven and human beings?”
Master: “Because there is nothing he doesn’t know.”
Commentary:
There is nothing that the Buddha doesn’t know although he has no eyes and no ears, and no place that he can’t reach although he has no limbs.
