Unrelated to this topic name... but just some Zen stuff to ponder.
Zen Master Bassui asks:
My body’s like a phantom, like bubbles on a stream. My mind looking into itself is as formless as empty-space, yet somewhere within sounds are perceived. Who is hearing?
He then proceeds to suggest an answer:
To know this subject you must right here and now probe deeply into yourself, inquiring. “What is it that thinks in terms of good and bad, that sees, that hears?” If you question yourself profoundly in this wise, you will surely enlighten yourself. If you enlighten yourself you are instantly a Buddha. The Mind which the Buddhas realized in their enlightenment is the Mind of all sentient beings… This Mind, like space, is all-embracing. It does not come into existence with the creation of our body, nor does it perish with its disintegration. Though invisible, it suffuses our body, and every single act of seeing, hearing, smelling, speaking, or moving the hands and legs is simply the activity of this Mind.[5]
