The Nature of Time

Two Zen monks were discussing the nature of Time.

Monk A:  See that flag rippling in the wind?  The flag moves, does it not?

Monk B:  Maybe.

Monk B:  I say, the wind moves.

Monk A:  Maybe.

Just then the Master came by, who had been listening to the conversation.

Master:  No, you idiots!  It is the Mind that moves!

Monk A and Monk B (in unision):  Maybe!
