Quiet Mind

Quoted from the book "Radical Acceptance," by Tara Brach:

"In a classic Zen story, the disciple Hui K'e asks his master, Bodhidharma, "Please help me to quiet my mind."
Bodhidharma responds by saying "Bring me your mind so that I can quiet it."
After a long moment of silence, Hui K'e says, "But I can't find my mind."
"There," Bodhidharma replies with a smile, "I have now quieted your mind."
