Post Summary:
Zhaozhou asked Nanquan, "What is the Way?" Nanquan answered, "Your ordinary mind, that is the Way." Zhaozhou said, "Does it go in any particular direction?'' Nanquan replied, "The more you seek after it, the more it runs away." Zhaozhou: "Then how can you know it is the Way?" Nanquan: "The Way does not belong to knowing or not knowing. Knowing is illusion. Not knowing is lack of discrimination. When you get to this unperplexed Way, it is like the vastness of space, an unfathomable void, so how can it be this or that, yes or no?" Upon this Zhaozhou came to a sudden realization.Zen Teaching: Dahui's Original Shobogenzo
