Blue Cliff Record (Forty-third Case)

Translated by Thomas and J.C. Cleary:

A monk asked Tung Shan, "When cold and heat come, how can we avoid them?"

Shan said, "Why don't you go to the place where there is no cold or heat?"

The monk said, "What is the place where there is no cold or heat?"

Tung Shan said, "When it's cold, the cold kills you; when it's hot, the heat kills you."

kphoover: Everyone stay warm out there these coming winter months. Or if you're in the Southern hemisphere, stay cool this summer.
