Master Shunji was asked by a monk, “What is someone engaged in great practice like?”
He said, “Wearing stocks and chains.”
The monk asked, “What about someone creating a lot of karma?”
He said, “Practising meditation, entering concentration.”
The monk was speechless.
Shunji then said, “You ask me about good—good does not follow evil. You ask me about evil—evil does not follow good. Therefore it is said that good and evil are like floating clouds, arising and disappearing, both having no abode.”
The monk was enlightened at these words.
Later the Over Breaker heard of this and said, “My son has thoroughly understood all things have no origin.”
Dahui said, “What can be done about forming false imaginations in front of the skull?”
Dahui's question is the same as my own.
What can be done about imaginative correlations and false patterns?
