"The pure light of your mind in a single moment of thought is the reality-body Buddha in your own house. The nondiscriminatory light of your mind in a single moment of thought is the reward-body Buddha in your own house. The nondifferentiated light of your mind in a single moment of thought is the projection-body Buddha in your own house. These three kinds of embodiment are none other than the person who is listening to the teaching right here and now, but it is only by not seeking outwardly that one has these effective functions."
We find Lin-chi asserts the trikaya is present in thoughts. What does this mean?
"The saṃbhogakāya and the nirmāṇakāya both respond with appearances suited to particular circumstances. Spoken dharmas which respond to events through the senses and in all sorts of guises are none of them the real dharma. So it is said that the saṃbhogakāya or the nirmaṇakāya is not a real Buddha or preacher of the Dharma." -Huang Po
What does it mean for thoughts to contain the dharmakāya?
"Only refrain from any objective conception of the Void; then it is the dharmakāya: and, if only you refrain from any objective conception of the dharmakāya, why, then it is the Void." -Huang Po
Why doesn't Lin-chi draw a line between thoughts and nonconceptual awareness?
