By Rev. Jueh Ming (aka Ta Lien Shih)

One day he came to a temple, and the monk there asked him:

"You are a very famous Zen Master, so why do you not find a good place to settle down in, and build a temple there, instead of traveling around like a homeless person?"

"Nowhere is my home, and yet everywhere is my Home. Where is a good place? In here is my temple," said the Zen Master, pointing to his heart.
