Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
228.Chan Master Fayan’s verse on the theme of the triplex world being only mental: The three realms are merely mental, Myriad things are but representation. Only representation, only mental— Sound to the eye, form to the ear. Form does not reach the ear; How can sound contact the eye? Form to the eye, sound to the ear— Myriad things are in order.
Myriad things are not mental objects— How can you view them as illusory? Earth, mountains, and rivers— Who is enduring, who changes?
.
ewk note: Christianity, Buddhism, Psychics, (edit: and Psychonauts), all of that depends upon the rejection of the material world. Zen Masters don't teach the rejection of the material world.
Science, technology, medicine, all depend upon the knowability of all knowledge by all knowers. Guess what Zen Masters think about that?
How is the material world working out for you, religious people? How is science working out for you, everybody else?
Welcome to Zen study.
