A monk asked Master Dalong, "The physical body deteriorates and decomposes; what is the indestructible body of reality?"
Dalong said, "The mountain flowers, blooming, resemble brocade; the valley stream, brimming, is deep as indigo."
Dahui remarked, "If you take these two lines to explain the body of reality, you'll fall living into hell."
Taking Zen Masters words as explanatory authority on the body of reality will kill you faster than an arrow to the knee...so, what does this say about:
1. People here to misrepresent Zen so as to advance their own personal claims to religious authority to explain the body of reality?
2. People here to misrepresent Zen so as to advance their Priest/Guru/Cultleader's personal claims to religious authority to explain the body of reality?
3. The body of reality?
3. Taking refuge in the Zen Buddha, Zen Dharma, & Zen Sangha?
Four questions...I'm someone will have a crack at them...maybe?
