The Real Shobogenzo: No way

Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:

286.  Master Bajiao said to an assembly, Suppose someone traveling suddenly comes upon a ten thousand fathom pit in front of him, while a wildfire is approaching him from behind.  On both sides are thickets of thorns.  If he goes ahead, he falls into the pit; if he retreats, the wildfire burns him.  If he turns to either side, he is obstructed by a forest of thorns.  Now how can he escape?  If he can escape, he must have a way out.  If he can’t escape, he is a fallen dead man.

.

(Welcome) ...ewk note: Lots of people think there is a path, or that they have a path, or that they know a path... what if you come to a ten thousand foot pit?

lol.

Dharma combat is the least of your problem.
