Motto:
When the ancient Chinese scholar Yen Hui was considering becoming court advisor to the ill-famed ruler of his time, he came to his teacher Chuang-tzu for advice. Chuang-tzu warned him that he is in great danger of being beheaded unless he learns "mind-fasting." Heedful of the advice given him, Yen Hui retired to practice "mind-fasting" in accordance with his teacher's instructions.
Three years later, Yen Hui returned to his teacher saying that he thinks lie is ready for his assignment. The master challenged him to prove it. Whereupon Yen Hui said: "Before I disciplined myself in mind-fasting as you instructed me, I was .fully conscious of being Yen Hui. Now that I have perfected myself in the discipline, I realize that from the beginning there never vas a Yen Hui."
The master said: "Yes, you realized "hsu," which translated means "Emptiness." (1)
