Blue Cliff Record Quotes Dongshan, Caodong lineage founder, on how to detect the unenlightened

Thus Tung Shan said,

"If you would judge whether one going beyond is genuine or false, there are three kinds of leak­age: emotional leakage, leakage of views, and verbal leakage.

1. If there is leakage of views, the intellect does not stir from its fixed position and falls into the poisonous sea.
2. If feelings leak, knowing always turns towards and against, and one's view is biased.
3. Verbal leakage embodies the marvel but loses the fun­damental; the intellect confuses beginning and end.
   

You should know these three leaks for yourself."
