Kuei-shan asked Yang-shan, "How do you understand the immaculate mind?"
Yang-shan replied, "Mountains, rivers, and plains; sun, moon, and stars."
Kuei-shan said, "You only get the phenomena."
Yang-shan rejoined, "What did you just ask about?"
Kuei-shan said, "The immaculate mind."
Yang-shan said, "Is it appropriate to call it phenomena?"
Kuei-shan said, "You're right."
