I Don't Know
====

The emperor, who was a devout Buddhist, invited a great Zen
master to the Palace in order to ask him questions about
Buddhism. "What is the highest truth of the holy Buddhist
doctrine?" the emperor inquired.

"Vast emptiness... and not a trace of holiness," the master
replied.

"If there is no holiness," the emperor said, "then who or
what are you?"

"I do not know," the master replied.
