We were enclosed in a wall made of one thousand wooden planks. One day our Teacher walked over, tore loose the 637th plank, and used it to smash down the wall. Then he went to lunch.
We were amazed! We took the 637th plank and stood it back up on end. "The 637th plank is the core of the Teachings!", we said, and we looked upon it in wonder and awe.
Now some of us are saying "No, no, it's not the plank itself that's important, it's the way that the Teacher held it. The Grip is the core of the Teachings!".
But the Teacher is still at lunch, so we can't ask him.
