Zen Under the Gun: The Desolate Ruin of the Zen lineage

https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Under-Gun-Masters-Turbulent/dp/0861715926/

Zen Masters after Wumen:

Hengchuan (1222-1289)

Gulin (1262-1329)

Zhuxin (1292-1348)

Daian (1347-1403)

On That Side of your skull there's a spirit light.

It's perfectly clear and unconcealed in daily action. The Path has no verbal explanations: you must have your

own insight. When potentials align, and the mother hen pecks from outside

the shell while the chick pecks from within,

They must match each other. Throughout the country the Zen community now is just a

desolate ruin.

Who can straighten out the decrepit system with his bare hands?

µ ^Yo͞ok  Welcome! ^{Meet me}  My comment: I do like this Daian, I'm telling you. So much great stuff packed in there...

1. You must have your own insight, not merely verbal explanations
   • People who claim to have "insights" but can't read/write at a high school level? Their explanation is their claim of direct insight.
2. Baby chick and mother chick have to sync up.
   
   • That's what dharma interviews are: somebody syncing up OR NOT
3. SPIRIT LIGHT.
   
   • We all agree it's there. WTF?
4. Desolate ruin. Ha ha.
