Three Zen students were
talking about whose master was most attained. One student says, "My master
is so powerful that she can stand on one side of the river and write through
the air, making marks on a piece of paper held by her attendant on the other
side of the river." The second student says, "Well, that's okay, but my
master's so powerful that she can go across the river without a boat, without
any help, without getting wet, because she simply walks on the water." And
the third student says, "Well, that's all very fine, but my master is truly
attained. Because when she eats, she just eats, and when she sleeps, she
just sleeps."
