From The Record of Linji by Thomas Kirchner and Ruth Sasaki:
My discourse on dharma is different from that of every other man on earth. Supposing Manjusri and Samantabhadra were to appear before me, manifesting their respective bodily forms for the purpose of questioning me about dharma. The moment they said, "Venerable Priest, what...", I would have discerned them through and through. And if a follower of the Way comes for an interview as I sit quietly here, I discern him through and through. Why is this so? Just because my way of viewing things is different; outside, I make no distinction between the secular and the sacred; inside, I do not dwell in the absolute; I see right through, and am free from all doubt.
u/Nimtrix1849 Thoughts:
That old thief always escapes with the family treasure. Not even the absolute could convince him to stay.
Where does a homeless thief keep his treasures?
