Dahui remarked, “During the Jianyan (1127-1131), when I was leading the assembly at Bowl Peak, in the assembly leaders’ dormitory there were two collections made by Chan Master Dongshan Cong, Essentials of Chan and Halls of the Masters. At the end of Essentials words of the two masters Shitou and Mazu are cited as exemplars.
An extract from a lecture of Mazu said, ‘Therefore the Lankavatara sutra has Buddha’s talks on mind for its source; [and no-gate for the Dharma gate].’ So we know there can be no doubt that later people mistakenly changed it to ‘the Lankavatara says “Buddha said, ‘Mind is the source.’”’
.
ewk note: Dahui's a good guy. He is looking out for us. Shobogenzo has such a more informal gossipy tone compared to the other texts with Master's own writings... it's a wonder it isn't to focus of scholarship. Heh heh. Shobogenzo! Every word is a revolution.
