This is a matter for strong people. People who do not discern what is being asked give replies depending on what comes up. They do not know it is something you ask yourself – to whom would you answer? When people do not understand an answer, they produce views based on words. They do not know it is something you answer for yourself – what truth have you found, and where does it lead? Therefore it is said, "It's all you." Look! Look!
Foyan Qingyuan [1067-1120]

Wandering Ronin commentary: A matter for strong people, indeed... it all begins and ends with your very mind. What will you decide to do among the myriad things as you go about here and there today? How will you actualize the Dharma in your mind, and what will you do with such power in your hands? Will you react like the tiger, tossed about here and there cowering in the storm, or will you be the dragon, a force of nature who bends the very storms and winds to his will? One hand up, one hand down.
