Good morning to All,
As you know, Chan is taught without words or formalities. After 49
years, Buddha said that he did not say a single word. Why is that?
Chan is the totality of all concepts and no concept. Chan is the
entirety and wholeness of the universe and is emptiness in nature.
All dharma once spoken is no longer dharma. All truth once explained is
no longer complete.
If I may emphasize for your reference, every school has its logic,
approach and effectiveness. Each is different because of karma. It is
also because of karma that each of us enters a different school. Yet at
the same time, we and school are both just forms.
All discrimination against any concept, school or comment from
practitioner is resulted from our own attachment to forms. In this
case, the forms of words, logic and dharma. It is just our ego at work
and not our Buddha Nature.
Instead of looking into the forms containing all the impermanence,
incompleteness and relativity, it is our practice to look deeper into
their hearts and intentions piercing through the man made inefficient
tool of language.
At the end, you may just find that we are no different from the other.
Each is our mirror.
Just my opinion for your reference,
JM
