A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
A monk said to Zen Master Ching-ch’ing (Kyosei; Gyeong Cheong), “Master, I’m pecking out. You, please, peck in.” That offers an image of student and teacher in accord with each other: I’m trying to break out. You, please, break in, so the two of us together can connect, mind to mind. Ching-ch’ing shouted at the monk, “Are you alive or not?” That was his pecking in.

It’s absurd, but this is the only method that everyone has been taught for attaining happiness, yet it’s a method guaranteed to produce anxiety, disappointment, and sorrow.
