A classic Chinese commentator, Lin Ching-Hsi is quoted in notes on Chapter 16, saying that the mind, originally being empty, can only respond non-judgmentally when it is again empty. Lin compares it to a swan flying over a river gorge, and a mirror reflecting everything perfectly and retaining nothing afterward.
