Case 12:
Every day Master Ruiyan used to call to himself, "Master!"
and would answer, "Yes!"
Again, he would call, "Thoroughly awake! Thoroughly awake!"
and he would answer, "Yes! Yes!"
"Don't be deceived by others, any day or any time."
"No! No!"
Wumen's Comment:
Old Ruiyan himself buys and sells. He has many puppet gods and devils which he plays.
But why? Look! One is calling. One is answering. One keeps awake. One is not deceived by others.
But if you get stuck there, that's not it.
If you were to imitate Ruiyan, it would be the understanding of a fox.
Wumen's Verse:
The reason those who learn the Way don't realize the truth
Is simply that they perceive the discriminating consciousness they've had all along.
It is the origin of endless life and death;
Fools take it for the essential self.
UExis:
Don't let yourself be bought by others.
But pretend, and you've sold yourself.
