37. Hsüeh-fêng’s Sanctity

A monk asked Hsüeh-fêng, “How can one touch sanctity?”
Hsüeh-fêng answered, “A mere innocent cannot do it.”
“If he forgets himself,” the monk asked again, “can he touch sanctity?”
“He may do so in so far as he is concerned,” Hsüeh-fêng replied.
“Then,” continued the monk, “what happens to him?”
“A bee never returns to his abandoned hive,” came the answer.

**Nyogen: There is a koan to illustrate this story.

A student asked his teacher,
“What is Zen?”
“Ts‘in,” the teacher replied.

* Ts‘in is a Chinese word meaning “father, mother, or one’s own self ” when used as a noun,
Used as an adjective, it signifies most intimate or most familiar.
And as a verb, it means “to love, to see constantly, to know well, or to understand thoroughly.”

The monk in this story aims to touch sanctity as a Sufi looks to his beloved. The monk approaches truth calmly and with empty hands; the Sufi devotes himself piously to his beloved. The monk’s attitude is innocent enough, but he must come down out of his ivory tower. The Sufi may sense the beloved, but the true Buddhist makes himself sanctity. Hsüeh-fêng demonstrated his Zen by saying, “A bee never returns to his abandoned hive.” Just as the solar constellation traverses the skies, so the mind of a Zen monk goes on from eternity to eternity without clinging to anything.

Psychology observes mental phenomena, and epistemology discusses the theory of knowledge, but these are the shadows of mind and not mind itself. When one finds mind itself, his search ends instantly. He can then “touch sanctity” without any attachment, forgetting all terms, even his selflessness, to become a “bee in the new hive” of freedom.

His life is Zen.
