Huang Po in the Chun Chou Record 36 poses a question.

THE FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE OF THE DHARMA IS THAT THERE ARE NO DHARMAS, YET THAT THE DOCTRINE OF NO-DHARMA IS IN ITSELF A DHARMA; AND NOW THAT THE NO-DHARMA DOCTRINE HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED, HOW CAN THE DOCTRINE OF THE DHARMA BE A DHARMA?

He continues with:

Whoever understands the meaning of this deserves to be called a monk, one skilled at Dharma-practice.

So it looks like Huang Po thinks this is a doozy. I have my answer; what does r/Zen think?
