A man travelled far in-order to visit a great Taoist teacher.
When he arrived, the teacher only had a small hut with a table, a few pillows and a couple of books. After greeting him, the man, who was somewhat disappointed, asked the master “Where are your things?”
The teacher replied “Where are your things?” the man said “I am only passing through.”
The teacher smiled and said, “I too, am only passing through.”
