Anderl, Patriarch's Hall Collection: What did I just tell you?

Anderl's 祖堂集 Zutang ji, Patriarch's Hall Collection, https://terebess.hu/zen/Zutangji.html

At one time Wång Yöng asked: "How does one attain liberation'?"

The master said: "All dharmas are not reached, at that very place one attains liberation. "

Yöng asked: "If it is like this then this is cutting off [perception] how could this be liberation'?"

The master then shouted: "This fellow, I said to you 'do not reach [them]', who said to you 'cut off"?"

Wång Yöng did not have anything further to say.

(Welcome link) (ewk^who?) note: At least he could have stuck up for himself, even if he wasn't listening. People talk about "cutting off" all the time... well, how about they "not reach" first? What then?
