Bodhidharma's "I Don't Know"
Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma, "
What is the highest meaning of the holy truths?" Bodhidharma said,
"Vast emptiness, nothing holy." The Emperor then asked,
"Who stands before me?" Bodhidharma replied,
"I don't know." The Emperor did not understand.
Bodhidharma subsequently crossed the Yangtze River and went to the kingdom of Wei.
