Cleary's scholarship fail text... I think this is
Xuansha Shibei 玄沙師備(Hsuan-sha Shih-pei, Gensha Shibi), 835-908. A Dharma-heir of Xuefeng Yicun, they both died in the same year. Gave Transmission to Dizang Guichen. He appears in Blue Cliff Records 22, 56, 88, Records of Serenity 81 and in Wumen's commentary in Gateless Gate 41:
Every reality is eternal, every essence is as is: just don't seek outwardly. If you have a great root of [trust], the buddhas are just states of your own experience; whether you are walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, never is it not this.
My speaking directly to you now is already pressing the free into servitude. Would you agree to speak thus? And how do you understand agreeing or not agreeing?

ewk book note index - There are lots of people that want to tell you how it is so you can believe what they believe. In Zen though, anything told is a trap. Some people call these traps "expedients", that's a trap too. How will you get out?
