Endless Zangni said to Liu Zuhui: I have studied Nirvana for many years, but I still do n’t know much about it.
Hui Neng: I don't know words! Please read the Scriptures, and perhaps understand the truth below.
Endless Zany: How can you understand the truth without even knowing the word?
Hui: Truth has nothing to do with words! Truth is like the bright moon in heaven. The text is like your finger.
A finger can point to the moon, but the finger is not the moon,
and you don't have to look through the finger to see the moon, does it?
