'Our thinking mind cannot know the absolute. Even if the mind makes up something fantastic and spectacular, what is created is made up out of memory. It is still simply a reworking of something the mind has already known. To realize not knowing, to realize there is a phenomenon of existence that is completely ungraspable and there is nothing we can do - this is our practice."
Zen Master Dae Gak, Upright with Pose and Grace
