Foyan (1067–1120)
Whatever you are doing, twenty-four hours a day, in all your various activities, there is something that transcends the Buddhas and Zen Masters; but as soon as you want to understand it, it’s not there.
As soon as you try to gather your attention on it, you have already turned away from it. That is why I say you see but cannot do anything about it.
