The Real Shobogenzo: It's like baking bread

Dahui's Original Shobogenzo:

Monk:  “Does someone who’s experienced a great awakening have any faults?”

Yuanming:  “Iron mountains stand across the road.”  [He also said] “Cut off the sunlight, and sky and earth are dark.  Those in a frantic hurry circle the earth, throughout every clime.  At such a time, if Buddhas or Chan masters appeared they’d deserve a beating.  But even so, ‘while officially not even a needle is admitted, privately a horse and carriage can get through.’”

.

ewk note: See? Come on. Are you paying attention? Zhaozhou deserved a beating for giving Nanquan a beating. But look, the horse and cart already got through.
