Master Nantai An was asked by a monk,
“How is it when still and silent, with no dependence?’
He said, “Still and silent!”
Based on this he composed a verse saying,
Nantai sits quietly, incense in one burner;
Still all day long, myriad thoughts are forgotten.
This is not stopping the mind, removing errant thought;
It’s all because there is nothing to think about.
Dahui shouted one shout.
KoalaZen: found this in the original shobogenzo. Seems interesting as it talks about sitting. I have many things I think about. I seem to be far from Nantai state.
