"Zen is not founded or sustained on the premise that there is a doctrine that needs to be transmitted. It is just a matter of direct guidance to the human mind, perception of its essence, and achievement of awakening. How can there be any sectarian styles to be valued? There were differences in the modes of teaching set up by the later zen teachers, and there were both tradition and change. The methods employed by a number of famous Zen Masters came to continued as traditions, to the point where their descendants became sectarians and did not get to the original reality. Eventually they made many digressions, contradicting and attacking each other. They do not distinguish the profound from the superficial, and do not know that the great way has no sides and the streams of truth have the same flavor."
