Tsung Ching Record of Hui Hai – Part 3
Once our Master took his place in the assembly hall and said, “It is far better for all of you to be unconcerned people. Why all this craze for karmic activities…toiling and moiling the whole day through, telling people you are practicing Ch’an and studying the Way, holding forth about your understanding of the Buddha-dharma? This sort of thing is no use at all.
No matter how we approach meditation on the cushion or in life, there is this lingering sense of so much “self” still coloring so much of our realities.
