Excerpts from the Lin-chi Record

He had a firm grasp on the essentials of crossing over, a steep cliff rising ten thousand spans. He took away the person, took away the environment, molding and fashioning first-rate disciples.

What are the essentials of crossing over? How did Lin-chi take away person and environment?

If I were to discuss the great concern of Buddhism from the point of view of a follower of the sect of the Ch'an patriarchs, then I could not even open my mouth, and you would have no place to plant your feet.

No doctrine! No gate! What does Lin-chi teach?
