Bodhidharma's House in Shambles

From Case 304 of Dahui's Treasury of the Eye of the True Teaching

Master Lingshu was asked by a monk, "What is the way of your house?"

He said, "A thousand year field, eight hundred owners."

The monk asked, "What is a thousand year field with eight hundred owners?"

He said. "A ramshackle house no one repairs."

Dahui said, "Sad man, don't talk to sad people."


Completely in shambles!

Who would waltz themselves on over to the /r/zen ramshackle house not knowing who Lingshu or Dahui are and then have the audacity to go ahead and claim that that they have perpetual lease on the house since like Buddha?

So...wannabe squatters addicted to prayer-meditation and pretending it will someday make them like Lingshu seem to be the big culprit.

Their conduct on this forum indicates that they can't approach Zen Masters, can't participate without vote-brigading, and can't go a day without violating subreddit rules.
