since you are fundamentally complete in every respect, you should not try to supplement that perfection

- Q: Up to now, you have refuted everything which has been said. You have done nothing to point out the true Dharma to us.
A: In the true Dharma there is no confusion, but you produce confusion by such questions. What sort of ‘true Dharma' can you go seeking for?
Q: Since the confusion arises from my questions, what will Your Reverence's answer be?
A: Observe things as they are and don't pay attention to other people. There are some people just like mad dogs barking at everything that moves, even barking when the wind stirs among the grass and leaves.

Welcome! ewk comment: Seekers want something else. Ordinary isn't doing it for them. They want something to bark about.
There is no such way out of anywhere.
In trying to find an answer you create the question. There is originally no question. There is originally no problem.
Zen is the mind school. Each of you already has all the tools there are, inherently. Distracting yourselves with precept violations and religious rituals and retreats (from what?) don't improve on ordinary.
Gee whiz.
If you want to do your own thing, go do it. Leave Zen out of it.
