"Kami naik bus ke biara terdekat dari salah satu master Dinasti Tang besar terakhir, Yun-men. Yun-men dikenal karena 'satu kata' Zennya. Ketika ditanya, 'Apa ajaran tertinggi Buddha?' dia menjawab: 'Pernyataan yang tepat.' Pada kesempatan lain, dia menjawab: 'Kue.' Saya mengagumi keterusterangannya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

We took a bus to the nearby monastery of one of the last great Tang dynasty Chan masters, Yun-men. Yun-men was known for his pithy 'one word' Zen. When asked 'What is the highest teaching of the Buddha?' he replied: 'An appropriate statement.' On another occasion, he answered: 'Cake.' I admired his directness.
