Blue Cliff Record #59: Chao Chou's Why Not Quote It Fully
A monk asked Chao Chou,
"'The Ultimate Path has no difficulties-just avoid picking and choosing. As soon as there are words and speech, this is picking and choosing.' So how do you help people, Teacher?"
Chou said, "Why don't you quote this saying in full?"
The monk said, "I only remember up to here."
Chou said, "It's just this: 'This Ultimate Path has no difficulties-just avoid picking and choosing.'"
T. O. M's Choice of words.
Isn't avoiding picking and choosing , a form of picking and choosing?
