The sutra
One day, when master Rinzai went to Ho-fu, the governor asked him to take the high seat.
Then Ma-yu came forward and asked Rinzai, "The great compassionate one has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. Which is the true eye?"
Rinzai responded, "The great compassionate one has a thousand hands and a thousand eyes. Which is the true eye? Speak, speak!"
Ma-yu pulled the master down off the high seat and sat on it himself.
Approaching him, Rinzai said, "How do you do?"
Ma-yu hesitated.
Rinzai, in turn, pulled ma-yu down off the high seat and sat upon it himself.
Ma-yu went out, and Rinzai stepped down.


Question 1
Our Beloved Master, I have understood that the witness is pure consciousness, unaffected by the body and mind it takes temporary residence in. So, first: How do personality traits and conditioning persist from one life to another?
And second: Does not that which makes us unique individuals have a continuum?
