The founding teacher came from the West specially expounding his matter, just valuing understanding outside words, direct penetrating top to bottom. Why would it depend on chanting morning and night on the corner of a meditation seat to be construed as Buddhism or the Zen path?
Yet it will not do to reject what is received from a teacher and seek on your own. Those who attain from seeking on their own are really followers of the ninety-six kinds of outsiders.
Changqing held up his staff and said, If you know this, your study is finished."
Yunmen said, "If you know this. why not stop?"
These two elders are both superior as far as superiority in concerned, and both inferior as far as inferiority is concerned. Their outreach is worthy of praise, but when it comes to profound talk entering principle, they still lack enlightenment.
Yingan's "valuing understanding outside words" is already going off on a side path to throw you a trail of breadcrumbs
Feeding people the poison, however, to go waste away their backsides on a meditation seat praying, desperately, to magic Dogen-Buddha to propel yourself to salvation enlightenment stupefaction is really just teaching your congregants how to play the shrew's fiddle.
Changqing & Yunmen compassionately went out and dropped breadcrumbs to the lost, inadvertently tying up not a small amount...Yingan wraps these letters all up with his indictment.
Who can set forward a post-script?
