Yunmen said, “A true person of the Way can speak fire without burning his mouth. He can speak all day without moving his lips and teeth or uttering a word."
"The entire day he just wears his clothes and eats his food, but never comes in contact with a single grain of rice or thread of cloth."
“When we speak in this fashion it is just the manner of our school. It must be set forth like this to be realized. But if you meet a true patch-robed monk of our school and try to reveal the essence through words, it will be a waste of time and effort. Even if you get some great understanding by means of a single word you are still just dozing.”
AssholeBuddha Commentary:
Dozers! Dozers! People come to this sub day in and day out spewing fire and burning their own mouths, how much more do their mouths burn by the fire of someone elses words!
Do you come here to stand idle, shaking in your boots and shitting yourselves? Or do you come here to study Zen?
The 3rd worm in the lineage says, "When the mind does not arise, the myriad things have no fault." So what is all this crying about? Where is the fault? Do you understand?
Yunmen lifts his staff saying, "Is anything amiss in the whole universe?"
Good question...so r/Zen, is anything amiss in the whole universe?
