Your Greeting:

Don’t say what is speaking right now is It; that’s not quite right. As soon as there is an affirmation, then there is a denial. That is the reason why it is said that no verbal expression corresponds to this reality.

What you must do is live in harmony with it. This matter is not in another; but are you in tune with it? And if you are in tune, in tune with whom?

If you say you are in tune with the ancients, the ancients are gone. If you say you are in tune with a teacher, a teacher has no connection with you.

This is why the sages compassionately told us to tune into the source of our own minds. Now tell me, what is the source of mind, to which one tunes in on one’s own?

If you mindfully try to tune into mind, you will definitely be unable to tune in. You have to tune in with mindless mind.

Foyan (1067–1120)
