One day, Zhàozhōu asked Nánquán: “What is The Way?” Nánquán said, “Ordinary Heart is The Way.” Zhàozhōu said, “May it be pursued or not?” Nánquán said, “If you seek it, you will never find it.” Zhàozhōu said, “Well, if I don’t seek it, how can I know about The Way?” Nánquán said, “The Way does not belong to knowing or not knowing. Knowing is fake enlightenment. Not knowing is unremembering. If you truly realize The Way of no-pretending, it’s just like the sky: wide open, vast, emptiness. How can you say yes or no to it?” At these words, Zhàozhōu had sudden enlightenment. Their heart became serene, like the bright moon. Translation: Tony Nguyễn Wiederhold
