The response of Dalong, an eighth-century Zen master, to the question "What is the Mysterious?" is a beautiful embodiment of such simplicity, revealing someone who has been deeply rearranged by the great simplicity of the mind of practice:

The breeze brings the water's voice
close to my pillow;

The moon carries the shadow of the mountain
near to my couch.
