From the margins of Cleary's notebook, Teachings of Zen I Found Somewhere
Ying An, 4th Generation from Wuzu Fayan:
Venerable adepts since ancient times worked on this thing until they had passed through to where there is no trouble at all; only then did they dare to take up positions as guides for others.
How could they be compared to those today who show off for fame and profit, blinding people with confusion?
.
ewk book note index - "Dared". Is it daring to hide behind faith, or the doors of a church, or a practice, or the unquestionable authority of a cult leader?
When Juzhi started teaching One Finger Zen, it was unknown to the world. He claimed to be the Dharma heir of a guy he met one time for, like, ten minutes. That is daring.
