(From Foyan's, instant Zen)
[Foyan Qingyuan's] teacher was [Wuzu (Qingyuan) Fayan]. "Fayan Qingyuan"; "Foyan Qingyuan"; that had to be on purpose. Oh well, another rabbit hole for another day. Today I'm just tryin to give daps in solidarity over some indignation.
When my late teacher [Wuzu] appeared in the world to teach, he said,
“I rise from this jewel flower throne and sit upon it every day along with all of you; it is just that you avoid what is right before you.”
This is a good saying. He also remarked,
“In over ten years at one place, I couldn’t find a worthy opponent; only when I went elsewhere did I actually see such a person as would live up to my sense of indignation.”
Good words; few people can talk like this.
I spent over thirty years journeying; you people were not even born when I found the way. If younger folk believe what I am talking about, you will step back each day, look into yourselves, and see all the way through.
"It is necessary to attain the reality where there is no delusion and no enlightenment before you can become free and unfettered."
"Uttering a few sayings does not amount to talking of mysteries and marvels, or explaining meanings and principles; sitting meditation and concentration do not amount to inner freedom."
"Think about it independently. Other people do not know what you are doing all the time; you reflect on your own— are you in harmony with truth or not? Here you cannot be mistaken; investigate all the way through."
