The Warning on Remaining Still

The Warning on Remaining Still

存心澄寂。默照邪禪恣。

Preserving mind by remaining still is “illumination by silence” and a perversion of awareness.

This one reminds me of all the meditation retreats and church services that stress passive observation rather than the active participation that Zen Masters vigorously demand of those in their company and the fact that those institutions advocating silently meditating have never produced a single Zen Master.
