Direct Experience Of Zen

Zen originally is not established on slogans, it just points directly to the human mind.

Direct pointing is just pointing to that which is inherent in everyone, though in a shell of unawareness.

When the whole being appears responsively, it is no different from that of the sages since antiquity.

This is what is called the originally pure subtle luminosity of naturally real essence, which swallows and spits out the whole universe, individually freed from the material senses.

Only by detaching from thoughts and cutting off feelings, utterly transcending ordinary parameters, with great perceptivity and great insight, using inherent power, can this be directly experienced in your present situation.
