One day Master Namchun said, “No Buddha of the three worlds knows it, but rather a cat, or white cow knows it.”
Student: “How is it when all the Buddhas of the three worlds don’t know, yet a cat, or a white cow knows instead?”
Master: “The former are not wise, and the latter is not foolish.”
Commentary:
There is neither wisdom nor ignorance in the Pure Land.
