★★ "Not abide in a place where there is a buddha; ____Hasten from a place where there is no buddha"
▲▲ Chan Master Zhaozhou said, "Do not abide in a place where there is a buddha; hasten from a place where there is no buddha."
―→ Whether there is a buddha or not, Chan practitioners should not attach to it. Furthermore, Chan practitioners should not attach to "the mind is Buddha", and also not attach to "no mind, no Buddha".
▲▲ Chan Master Linji Yixuan said, "Followers of the Way ! If you want to have an insight into Dharma as it is, just don't be confused by others' deluded views. Whatever attachment you encounter, either inward or outward, kill it at once."
―→ Chan practitioners should completely let go of all their attachments to the phenomena of the mind, the body, and the environment.
▲▲ The《Diamond Sutra》says, "The Mind arises with no-abiding in anything."
―→ "No-abiding" is having no attachment, either to "existence", or to "emptiness", or to "existence is emptiness", or to "no existence, no emptiness"; and it is exactly the genuine emancipation. Chan practitioners of genuine emancipation have no attachments in the mind and their inherent Buddha Wisdom simultaneously manifests; they deliver sentient beings as conditions arise and offer instruction and guidance according to people's karmic capacities. Therefore, those who have ultimate and complete realization of "The Mind arises with no-abiding in anything" are bodhisattvas of great emancipation, great freedom, great wisdom, great compassion, great vow, and great action.
