Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
187.
Baizhang asked Zhaozhou, “Where have you just come from?”
Zhaozhou said, “Nanquan.”
Baizhang asked, “What statements does Nanquan have?”
Zhaozhou said, “People who have not yet attained should simply be still.”
Baizhang immediately shouted. Zhaozhou made a gesture of fright.
Baizhang said, “Fine stillness!” Zhaozhou danced a jig and left.

ewk note: So, these are two of the most famous Zen Masters, ever. What is the dharma they are discussing here? If you are here to study Zen, then what else do you have to study? If you are afraid to approach this teaching because it violates your religion, why disrespect these Masters, this forum, yourself or your religion?
When somebody asks where you come from, will you say /r/zen?
