Seeking a Zen Master

不立文字

Not based on the written word

No dependence upon words and letters

Not depending upon the letter

do not depend on written words

not posit the letters

Not founded upon words and letters

Do not establish words and letters

I wish to meet a zen master and not simply study his text. Without meeting him and without being a master myself, how can I trust the text?

How will I recognize him?
