Not Knowing
Zen Teacher Earth Treasury asked the monk Dharma Eye as he was leaving the monastery, "Where are you going?"
Dharma Eye said, "I am going on pilgrimage."
Earth Treasury said, "What is the purpose of pilgrimage?"
Dharma Eye said, "I don't know.” Earth Treasury said, "Not knowing is most intimate."
Dharma Eye was greatly awakened at these words.
