I do not understand Buddhism.
- Hui Neng (Sixth Patriarch of Zen)

We cannot understand Buddhism or anything else because there is nothing to understand and no one to understand it.

Assignment: Today, enjoy being a person of no understanding.

From Wikipedia: Hui Neng's quotes

When alive, one keeps sitting without lying down.

When dead, one lies without sitting up.
In both cases, a set of stinking bones!
What has it do with the great lesson of life?
With those who are sympathetic

Let us have discussion on Buddhism.
As for those whose point of view differs from ours
Let us treat them politely and thus make them happy.
(But) disputes are alien to our School,
For they are incompatible with its doctrine.
Within, keep the mind in perfect harmony with the self-nature; without, respect all other men.
