Shen-kuang

Bodhidharma sat looking at the wall. Shen-kuang came up and said, "My mind is not pacified. Sir, will you pacify my mind?"
"Bring your mind here" replied Bodhidharma, "and I will pacify it."
Shen-kuang said, "I have searched for my mind for a long time, and I cannot find it."
"There!" said Bodhidharma, "I have pacified your mind already."
