Hengchan (1222-1289)

Hengchuan said, "Do not bring up the ancients: just discuss right now. All of you are here listening to the Dharma. What are you lis tening with?

"If you are listening with your ears, ears are a sense-organ: how can you hear the Dharma? If you are listening with your eyes, eyesare a sense-organ: how can you hear the Dharma? If you are lis tening with your mind, mind is a sense-organ: how can you hear the Dharma? My Dharma is formless: your listening must be formless.

The great teacher Linji said, 'If you want to be liberated from birth-and-death, from going and staying, and reach freedom, just recognize right now that the one listening to the Dharma is with out shape or form, without root or basis, without abiding.""
