When Hui-k’o asked Bodhidharma to help him make his mind stop, the First Patriarch of Zen said, “Show me this mind of yours, and I’ll make it stop.” Hui-k’o answered, “But I’ve looked everywhere, and I can’t find the mind.” Bodhidharma said, “There. I’ve stopped it for you.” Thus, in the light of emptiness, we say that the eyes and the other powers do not exist, which does not mean that we have no eyes, only that the eyes are not ultimately real, just a convenient fiction to which we give a name.
