Teachings
- sayingThe Moon of the Mind
Panshan said: "The moon of the mind is solitary and round; its light swallows the ten thousand forms. The light does not illuminate objects, nor do objects exist. Light and objects both forgotten—then what is this?"
- dialogueThe Three Realms Have No Dharma
Panshan addressed the assembly: "The three realms have no dharma. Where will you seek the mind? The four elements are originally empty. Where does the Buddha dwell? The heavenly truth does not move, perfectly still. Approach and I will reveal it to you." A monk stepped forward and bowed. Panshan said, "Too late."
