A monk asked, "What is the meaning of the ancestral teacher coming from the west?"
Hengchuan said, "Ocean water does not freeze."
Then he went on to say, "The one solid esoteric body appears in all the dusty realms of experience. All the worlds in the ten directions are empty and deserted. All the lands of the galaxy are cold and silent."
Buddhists are famous for coming in here and saying how they "agree" with Hengchuan or he "agrees" with their church and that this "agreement" hitches them to the same big wagon-train, which ignores the obv. fact that this family isn't defined by its agreement to anyone, including each other, and the public rejection of Buddhist wagons, big, tiny, diamond, or otherwise
What about when we put aside 'agreement' or 'disagreement' as the basis of a conversation and engage straightforwardly with the matter Hengchuan raises?
