"The Chán of our school does not set up progressive stages and is, therefore, the unsurpassed one. It's aim is the direct realization leading to the perception of self-nature and attainment of Buddhahood.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with sitting or not sitting in meditation during a Chán retreat.

However, on account of living beings dull roots and due to their numerous false thoughts, ancient Masters devised expediences to guide them."
