Apos herdar o manto e a tigela, o Mestre Ch'an Hui-neng escondeu-se entre um bando de cacadores por cerca de dez anos. Quando o tempo estava maduro, ele comecou a ensinar o Dharma. Um dia Hui-neng chegou ao Templo Fa-hsing e viu dois monges discutindo calorosamente em frente a uma bandeira. Hui-neng aproximou-se deles, ouvindo seus argumentos. Um dos monges disse: "Se nao ha vento, como pode a bandiera se mover? Portanto, digo, e o vento que se move". O outro retrucou: "Se nao ha bandeira, como pode voce saber que e o vento que se move? Assim eu digo que e a bandeira que esta se movendo." Cada um insistia que seu poprio ponto de vista fosse o correto. Hui-neng interrompeu-os e disse: "Por favor, nao ha necessidade de discutir. Eu gostaria de esclarecer o assunto para voces. Nao e nem o vento nem a bandeira que se move. Sao suas proprias mentes que estao se movendo." Nesse kung-an podemos ve que a maneira de um Mestre Ch'an olhar um fenomeno nao esta limitada as aparencias externas. Os Mestres Ch'an olham as coisas atraves do olho da mente. Nossos pontos de vista diferem por causa de nossas mentes discriminatorias. Quando nossas mentes estao quietas, todas as coisas estao em paz. Quando nossas mentes se movem, surgem varias distincoes. Para alcancar o estado no qual a tranquilidade e a nao-tranquilidade se harmonizem, temos que erradicar de nos mesmos todos os pensamentos discriminatorios. Somente, entao, a plenitude e a quietude do nirvana serao realizadas.
