Foyan (1067–1120)
Generally speaking, practical application of Zen requires detachment from thoughts.
This method of Zen saves the most energy. It just requires you to detach from emotional thoughts, and understand that there is nothing concrete in the realms of desire, form, and formlessness; only then can you apply Zen practically.
If you try to practice it otherwise, it will seem bitterly painful by comparison.
