Eye of true teaching 191

Master Letan Jun said to an assembly, This morning is the tenth day of the twelfth month. Last night it snowed, and the ridges are all white, as far as the eye can see, high and low; the green bamboo and pines are hard to distinguish. Next year's silk worms will mature and the wheat will ripen and everyone will rejoice, drumming their bellies and singing and laughing unceasingly, taking up pan pipes, playing wildly, dancing around forgetting themselves. [shouting a shout] When Chan travelers meet, they just snap their fingers; how many people can know what this means?

I'll only respond to direct questions with the u/gimmethemcheese

I don't see enough effort being applied to change outdated habits.

Some still think they have no beard, but it's clearly seen.

I do see some nursing their seeds of insight, hopefully they can communicate their understanding properly.

I cannot.
