Huitang Zuxin: Without Technique

From Cleary's scholarship fail "Teachings of Zen".

Huitang Zuxin 1025-1100, heir of Huanglong Huinan

When you know illusion, you become unattached, without exercising any technique.

When you detach from illusion, you wake up, without going through any process.

Shakyamuni Buddha opened up a thousand gates and then thousand doors all at once; someone who is spiritually sharp will immediately act on that.

As for those who shilly-shally, you and I are going in different directions.

.

ewk book note index - "Going in different directions" sums up most of the disputes in this forum... there the direct that is indicated in Zen texts, and then there's everything else. How can you discuss this without exposing yourself? In addition to that, if you bring up the texts, what does that say about your "practice"?
