Huangbo's Mushrooms

Oh, Blindshavepate, what a play, what a play!.

Now, where was I? I can't tell. (I'm out of mushrooms.) Hmm. How about we just open a random page, is that okay? I know it's not r/zen, but don't make me say what I'll have to say.

Here we go:

Thus it was said, "He studies the living phrase, he doesn't study the dead phrase." An ancient said, "An appropriate statement is a stake at which to tether a donkey for ten thousand eons. What's the use?

When he gets to the point Hseuh Tiu has finished the verse. But he turns around again and says, "But this cleanness is absokute—even body Dharma would find it hard to discriminate." Since even Bodhidharma finds it hard to discern, what would you have me say?

My legs are shaking, but not my hands.

Does Lin Seed's love for r/zen and u/ewk ring loud and clear?
