Bashumitta

The seventh patriarch was the Venerable Vasumitra. He placed a wine vessel before the Venerable Micchaka, bowed, and stood. The Venerable [Micchaka] asked him, "Is this my vessel or yours?" The master thought about it. The Venerable said, "If you think it is my vessel, it is your intrinsic nature; if you think it is your vessel, you will receive my Dharma." Hearing this, the master was greatly awakened concerning the unborn intrinsic nature.
