Yantou said, “These who cultivate purification must let it come forth from their own hearts in each individual situation, covering the entire universe.” How can this be quiet sitting and "meditating?
My teacher said, “When you sleep, study Zen as you sleep; at meals, study Zen as you eat ” An ancient also said, “When you sit, there is the logic of when you sit, when you stand, there is the logic of when you stand.”
Have you not read how Touzi asked Cuiwei, "Can I hear the secret message of Zen?” Cuiwei stood and looked around. Touzi said, “ I don’t understand the hidden statement; please give me another indication.” Cuiwei said, “ You want to get soused with a second ladle of foul water?” Touzi was thereupon enlightened.
