The Real Shobogenzo: Account of an actual enlightenment

Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:

As Zihu was hoeing the ground, he pressed down on the hoe.  Turning around, he looked at Shengguang and said, “It’s not that there’s nothing to do, but if you’ve got an attitude, you err.”

Shengguang immediately asked, “What is there to do?”

Zihu kicked him in the chest, knocking him down. 

At this Shengguang was enlightened.

.

ewk note: The Buddhists will come in here and crybaby about the life of virtue that Zihu lived before he kicked and the life of servitude to sutras that Shengguang lived before getting kicked. New agers will come in here and claim that they kicked themselves just last week and they know all truths, even though they can't spell Shengguang. Meditation worshippers will talk about meditation doing this or that the way psychonauts will talk about how a mushroom made them as tall as Zihu.

Dahui didn't have a comment on this Case. He just nodded and passed by.
