From Cleary's book which is increasingly incompetent (yes, that's a thing), here is Lung-ya, dharma heir of Dongshan.
Lung-ya:
To speak of practicing the path is an expression of encouragement, a term of inducement; there has never been any doctrine to give people, just transmission of various expedient techniques.
These are for expressing the essential idea, to get people to know their minds. Ultimately there is no doctrine to get, no path to practice. Therefore it is said, "The path of enlightenment is natural."
.
ewk book note index - What sort of natural practice is there? People who are attached to practices, why do they pretend they are interested in natural enlightenment?
