Zen Sixth Patriarch Master Huineng got the heart seal from the fifth Patriarch Huangmei, and was afraid that people would harm him because of jealousy, so he immediately escaped to the distance. But the news was leaked, and the monks rushed over, all trying to grab the mantle. Later, a Zen monk named Chen Huiming caught up with the Sixth Patriarch, but claimed that he was not for the sake of his robe, but for the sake of seeking the Dharma, so he begged the Sixth Patriarch to take him in.

So, the Sixth Patriarch said, "Since you are here to seek Buddha, I hope you will abandon all external conditions and cut off all thoughts. I will preach for you." After a while, the Sixth Patriarch continued, "Don't think of goodness, don't think of evil. At this moment, what is your true face?" After hearing this, Huiming immediately realized, so he asked the Sixth Patriarch to tell him some secret meanings.

The Sixth Patriarch said, "What I can tell you is not the secret. If you can reflect on yourself, the secret will be hidden in your heart."

Huiming heard it and said gratefully: "I have been under Master Hongen for so long, but I don't know my true face. Now, thank you for your guidance, which makes me feel that the Tao is 'like a person drinking water, and he knows the cold and warmth'. Now, I understand everything about myself."

How many people in the world really understand their true face? I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu because I am in this mountain. People are often busy with some complicated and trivial matters in the world, but ignore their own understanding, making it difficult to realize their true self in dealing with others.
