Wuxiang's "Three Phrases"
A monk asked Master Wuxiang, "
What is the essence of the Dharma?" Wuxiang said,
"No recollection, no thought, do not forget." The monk was puzzled and asked for further instruction.
Wuxiang said,
"If you cannot embody this, then bind yourself with no-mind." The monk asked,
"What is 'no-mind'?" Wuxiang replied,
"It is not a thing how can I explain it? If you can understand, then understand."
