Maybe someone will help clarify a couple of points from the book "The Zen Teachings of Master Lin-Chi", by Burton Watson
When students today fail to make progress, where's the fault? The fault lies in the fact that they don't have faith in themselves!
If faith in yourself is a skill - how to master it? If not - what is the point to mention it?
Do you want to get to know the patriarchs and buddhas? They're none other than you, the people standing in front of me listening to this lecture on the Dharma!
In what sense patriarchs and buddhas are none other than Linji's disciples? Why do his students need to be reminded of the fact of this equality?
