Hearing swallows, Master Hyunsa said on the high seat, “They speak of the essence of everything and preached the core of the Dharma well” and descend from the seat.
Student: “How can we hear the core of the Dharma the swallows preached?”
Master: “You can hear it when you don’t speak.”
Commentary:
Only your words are heard when you speak.
