Dahui's Real Original, the First Shobogenzo:
- Changsha Cen said to an assembly, If I were to bring up the teaching of the source completely, the weeds would be ten feet deep in front of the teaching hall. It is because I have no choice that I tell you people that all worlds in the ten directions are a single eye of the ascetic;
...
At that time a monk asked, “What is the eye of an ascetic?” The master said, “Impossible to ever get out.” He also said, “It is impossible to get out by becoming a Buddha or a master, and it is impossible to get out revolving in the six paths of existence.” The monk asked, “Impossible to get out of what?” The master said, “Seeing the sun in daytime, seeing the stars at night.” The monk said “I don’t understand.” The master said, “The colors of the wonderfully high mountain are green upon green.”
Dahui said, “A familiar place is hard to forget.”
.
ewk note: How does a free person have no choice? What is this familiar place Dahui is dragging into it?
