From Case 322 of Dahui's Treasury of the Eye of the True Teaching
Yunmen held up his staff and cited the teachings saying:
"Ordinary people actually consider this existent, the two vehicles analyze it and call it nonexistent, those awakened to conditionality call it illusory existence, bodhisattvas identify its esssence with emptiness, and pathrobed monks see a staff and just call it a staff--when they walk they just walk, and when they sit they just sit, totally unshakable."
Dahui said, "Bitter gourd is bitter to the root, sweet melon is sweet to the stem."
Yunmen serves up the indictment of Buddhism & Bodhisattvas using nothing but his staff...is it any wonder wannabe-Bodhisattvas come in here trying to fulfill their promises to "save everyone" from Yunmen?
What about Dahui? What's that clown blabbing on about?
