I Don't Know

The emperor, who was a devout Buddhist, invited a great Zen master to the Palace in order to ask him questions about Buddhism.
"What is the highest truth of the holy Buddhist doctrine?" the emperor inquired.
"Vast emptiness... and not a trace of holiness," the master replied.
"If there is no holiness," the emperor said, "then who or what are you?"
"I do not know," the master replied.

Ekta, it's nice to learn that u have gone thru the whole blog. Also good to know that u thought on the various posts.

Well, i will explain u the meaning of this later as even i am not very clear on the meaning and confident on my understanding. But would try to structure my thought around that and give my point of view.
