do you continue to exist if I stop believing you are there?

When Mamiya went to a teacher for personal guidance,
he was asked to explain the sound of one hand.

Mamiya concentrated upon what the sound of one hand might
be. "You are not working hard enough," his teacher told
him. "You are too attached to food, wealth, things, and
that sound. It would be better if you died. That would
solve the problem."

The next time Mamiya appeared before his teacher he was
again asked what he had to show regarding the sound of one
hand. Mamiya at once fell over as if he were dead.

"You are dead all right," observed the teacher, "But how
about that sound?"

"I haven't solved that yet," replied Mamiya, looking up.

"Dead men do not speak," said the teacher. "Get out!"
