“The process of purification is to strip away influences of habit. If people in the process of purification cannot get rid of the diseases of greed and hostility they are as yet unhearing worldlings and still have to be taught to practice meditation and cultivate insight.”
-Baizhang (Chan Instructions, tr. Cleary)
Lots of fun stuff here:
-a process of purification
-stripping away the influences of habit
-the diseases of greed and hostility
-unhearing worldlings
-have to be taught
-practice meditation
Are you free from greed and hostility, or are you an unhearing worldling who needs to practice meditation?
Or, maybe you think you know better than Baizhang what Zen is about.
Tag yourself!
