Excerpt from The Zen Teaching of Huang Po, trans. Blofeld (p. 131): When you practice mind-control, sit in the proper position, stay perfectly tranquil, and do not permit the least movement of your minds to disturb you. This alone is what is called liberation. Ah, be diligent! Be diligent! Of a thousand or ten thousand attempting to enter by this Gate, only three or perhaps five pass through. If you are heedless of my warnings, calamity is sure to follow. Therefore it is written: Exert your strength in this life to attain! / Or else incur long aeons of further pain!
Where was it written?
