Seen a few sayings of his here and there about this sub, but can't seem to find much duckgoing him. Aside from the chopping the cat story, what are some of his other teachings?
To contribute:
The master asked Nan-chuan, "What is the Way?"
Nan-chuan said, "Ordinary mind is the Way."
The master said, "Then may I direct myself towards it or not?"
Nan-chuan said, "To seek from it is to deviate from it."
The master said, "If I do not seek, how can I know about the Way?"
Nan-chuan said, "The Way does not belong to knowing or not knowing. To know is to have a concept; to not know is to be ignorant. If you truly realize the Way of no doubt, it is just like the sky: wide open vast emptiness. How can you say 'yes' or 'no' to it?"
At these words the master had sudden enlightenment. His mind became like the clear moon.
No commentary sorry ^_^
