“Abundance has ten-thousand virtues. Swept away, not a speck of dust. The mutual parting of all things —that is all dharmas. On top of a hundred-foot pole, >take a step. The ten direction world is the whole body. >Yet say, what comes?”

The Record of Going Easy is a one-hundred case collection of kōans and companion verses by Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091–1157) with Wansong Xingxiu’s (1166–1246) adding prefaces, notes to each line of the kōans, and notes to each line of Hongzhi’s verses. Both these important old teachers were descendants in the Cáodòng/Sōtō lineage.
