- The sutras
- A monk once asked Ummon, "When not a thought arises, can there be anything wrong?"
- Ummon replied, "Mount Sumeru!"
- Another monk asked Ummon, "When all mental activity is at an end, how is it?"
- Ummon said, "Bring the Buddha hall here, and we'll weigh it together!"
- The monk said, "Aren't you getting away from the point?"
- Ummon exclaimed, "Kwatz!" and then said, "You plunderer of vacuity!"
- On another occasion, Ummon was asked, "How about when the word is uttered that expresses all things?"
- Ummon said, "Tearing down, breaking up."
- Question 1
- Is there a word in the end?
- I have understood you to say that in the beginning was not the word, but silence. Is not silence the beginning, the end, and the continuum between beginning and end?
