Patch-robed monks practice thoroughly without carrying a single thread. Open-mindedly sparkling and pure, they are like a mirror reflecting a mirror, with nothing regarded as outside, without capacity for accumulating dust. They illuminate everything fully, perceiving no "thing". This is called taking up the burden from the inside and is how to shoulder responsibility.
--Master Hongzhi, from Cultivating the Empty Field, trans. by Taigen Dan Leighton
