+    "When the sun comes out and illumines the world, its image is reflected in
+all clean vessels of water, being in all places without coming or going.  If
+one vessel breaks, then the reflection of the sun does not appear in it.  Do
+you think it is the fault of the sun that its reflection does not appear
+there?"
+    "No--it is just because the vessel is broken; it’s no fault of the sun."
+    "The knowledge of realization of Thusness, buddha-knowledge, is also like
+this, appearing throughout the cosmos, without before or after: Buddha appears
+in the clean mind-vessels of all sentient beings.  If the mind-vessel is
+always clean, the embodiment of Buddha is always seen; if the mind is
+polluted, the vessel breaks and the Buddha cannot be seen."
