Some more Huang Po

There is only the one reality, neither to be realized nor attained. To say 'I am able to realize something' or 'I am able to attain something' is to place yourself among the arrogant.

Therefore the Buddha said: 'I truly obtained nothing from enlightenment.' There is just a mysterious tacit understanding and no more.

No room here for the so-called 'attaining one-ness' doctrines and all their mixed flavors. People come to this forum thinking their perennialist doctrines are somehow compatible with Zen, undoubtedly because some church or guru told them so but Huang Po's family has stern words for them.
