Dahui on the wisdom of discrimination

"When birth and death and delusion have no home, then thinking and discrimination themselves are nothing but transcendent wisdom and subtle knowledge: there's not the slightest thing further to obstruct you. Thus it is said:

Observing the sequence of phenomena,

Using wisdom to discriminate,

Judging right and wrong--

This doesn't go against the Seal of Truth.

"When you've reached this stage, then even if you act smart and expound principles, it's all the great peace of nirvana, the great ultimate, the realm of liberation-- there isn't anything else."

(Cleary's translation, Swampland Flowers pp.59-60)
