Yunmen saw a monk coming to inquire; he held up his vestment and said, "If you can speak, you fall within my vestment loop. If you cannot speak, then you're inside a ghost cave. How about it?"
He answered himself on the monk's behalf, "I have no strength."
Dahui said, "In India they cut off heads and sever arms; here you take what's yours and get out."
/r/Zen...isn't like other places, here we grab Buddhas and Patriarchs by the nose, smack them around a bit, and throw them straight to the dogs. Isn't that wonderful!?
So, if you come here only to whine about how Yunmen and Dahui are "promoting hate" by calling out your shit eating, how will you speak when facing your heads and arms being chopped off like in the old country? How will you fare when butchered and thrown straight to the dogs?
But, when it comes to not falling within Yunmen's vestment loop or a ghost cave...can you even utter a single word?
