Where Did You Learn the Tao?

"Where did you learn this from?" asked Nanpo Tsek'uei. 

"I learned it from the Son of Ink," replied Nu Yu, 

"and the Son of Ink learned it from the Grandson of Learning, 

the Grandson of Learning from Understanding, 

and Understanding from Insight, 

Insight learned it from Practice, 

Practice from Folk Song, 

and Folk Song from Silence, 

Silence from the Void, 

and the Void learned it from the Seeming Beginning."
