I say to you there is no buddha, no dharma, nothing to practice, nothing to enlighten to.
Just what are you seeking in the highways and byways? Blind men!
You’re putting a head on top of the one you already have. What do you yourselves lack?
Followers of the Way, your own present activities do not differ from those of the patriarch-buddhas.
You just don’t believe this and keep on seeking outside. Make no mistake!
Outside there is no dharma; inside, there is nothing to be obtained.
Better than grasp at the words from my mouth, take it easy and do nothing.
Don’t continue [thoughts] that have already arisen and don’t let those that haven’t yet arisen be aroused.
Just this will be worth far more to you than a ten years’ pilgrimage.
To all of you who come to this place teaching and preaching this 'dharma' and that 'practice' please be at least sincere enough to admit that Linji and you are not representing the same sect.
And then please remember that Linji is representing the zen sect!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
