Blue Cliff Record (Eleventh Case)

Translated by Thomas and J.C. Cleary:

Huang Po, instructing the community, said, “All of you people are gobblers of dregs; if you go on travelling around this way, where will you have Today? Do you know that there are no teachers of Ch’an in all of China?”

At that time a monk came forward and said, “Then what about those in various places who order followers and lead communities?”

Huang Po said, “I do not say that there is no Ch’an; it’s just that there are no teachers.”

kphoover: Does Huang Po have a list of non-teachers? Is he himself on the list?
