Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091–1157)
The Boatman said to Chia-shan, "There should be no traces where you conceal yourself, but do not conceal yourself in the traceless. In thirty years with my teacher, I understood only this."
In the unusual grass on the cold cliff, you accomplish a task even while sitting; under the bright moon and white clouds, you emanate reflections with every step.

Welcome! ewk comment: "even while sitting" is interesting, now that we know for sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was never any sitting meditation textual tradition in Zen... what task is there always being accomplished?
Do not conceal yourself in tracelessness is a bit of a downer, right? You aren't supposed to be an invisible genie. Fantastic.
Just don't leave tracks.
