*Do you want to be no different from Buddha and Chan masters? Just don’t seek outside. *
*The moment the light of mind is clear, this is the elemental embodiment of Buddha in your house. *
*The moment the light of mind is free of discriminatory thought, this is the blissful embodiment of Buddha in your house. *
The moment the light of your mind is free of division, this is the temporal embodiment of Buddha in your house.
*These three embodiments are you, the people present listening to the teaching. You have these capacities only by virtue of not seeking outside. According to academics, the three embodiments are the ultimate ideal. In my view that is not so. These three embodiments are descriptions. *

ewk note: This is from a multi-page Linji rant. Is this from the Record of Linji? I haven't studied it. According to "academics"? He means Buddhists. Ha! Embody Buddha! Not under a tree! Not in a car! Not on a train! Not in the dark! Not with a goat! People who have heard the poison drum, come forward.
