Dharmas not Concomitant with the Mind

A monk called on. So the master drew a circle and said: 'If you enter the circle I will beat you; if you don't enter the circle I will beat you too.' The moment the monk entered the circle, the master beat him. The monk said: 'You abbot can't beat me.' The master leaned on the walking stick and left.

  A monk came to consult Patriarch Ma. Patriarch Ma drew a circle on the ground and said: 'If you enter the circle I will beat you; if you don't enter the circle I will beat you too.' The monk entered the circle, and Patriarch Ma beat him. This monk failed to receive.

  Ahead of dot is line, ahead of line is surface, ahead of surface is circle, and ahead of circle is solid. Infinite dots emerge as a line, infinite lines emerge as a surface, and infinite surfaces emerge as a circle. Big is in the small, and small is in the big; one is infinitude, and infinitude is one.

  He didn't understand Patriarch's meaning of drawing the circle.

  It indicates that the space and mathematics are uncontrollable Dharmas not concomitant with the mind.

The Meaning of coming from the west?

Someone asked: 'What's the meaning of coming from the west?' The master then beat him and said: 'If I don't beat you, all others will laugh at me.'

  Someone asked: 'What's the meaning of Patriarch's coming from the west?'

  Patriarch Ma then beat him and said: 'If I don't beat you, all others will laugh at me.'

  Bodhisattvas have nothing but kindness, compassion, delight and renunciation. Bodhisattvas are independent of beating. In case them beat you and you success to receive, immediately there will be the emptiness of self and dharmas. How generous Patriarch Ma is! It's a pity that the monk failed to receive.

Inexplicable Tao

Someone asked: 'How to conform to Tao?'
The master said: 'I have long been not conformed to Tao.'

  How to be in Tao? Lao-tzu said 'The Tao that can be described is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.' Tao is inexplicable, so where was the room to conform to Tao or not? You have to be speechless and non-concerning to realize a bit.

Keynote of Buddhism

Bai-zhang asked: 'What's the keynote of Buddhism?'

The master said: 'Right the place to settle your body and life.'

  The Sixth Patriarch Grandmaster Hui-neng said: 'The secret is right within yourself.'

  Bai-zhang asked Patriarch Ma, 'What's exactly the keynote of Buddhism?'

  Patriarch Ma answered, 'The keynote of Buddhism is your true homeland, true devotion.'

  Shakyamuni Buddha said:

The true devotion is to cast off.

  Cast off what? Cast off Adana-vijnana. Be sure to make clear what is to cast off. Dr. Huang, stand up and explain for a few minutes how to cast off Adana-vijnana. All are adana-vijnana, and should be cast off.

§Y¬O·í¤U¤]¡I

  Dr Huang: Shakyamuni Buddha said 'The Adana-vijnana, profound and subtle, proceeds with all the Bija like a violent torrent.' All existence, including the mountains, rivers and great earth, are the manifestations of Adana-vijnana. Moreover, Adana-vijnana represents our karma; Adana-vijnana projecting to we sentient beings is known as Alaya-vijnana. Alaya-vijnana represents universal karma and individual karma, which intertwine and turn into our transmigration generation after generation. To transcend Adana-vijnana is the 'transformation of consciousness into wisdom' of Buddhism, that Alaya-vijnana is transformed into the 'Great Reflecting Wisdom'. Alaya-vijnana has three meanings, subject store, object store, and attachment store, in which the most important is the tight attachment of the seventh consciousness to the eighth consciousness as a true oneself, i.e., the innate attachment to oneself, that is, the tight attachment to the impulse and content of oneself's blindly will, to live on exclusively according to the form of oneself's life, so Alaya-vijnana can be transformed into the 'Great Reflecting Wisdom' only if the blindly will has been transcended. We sentient beings always proceed in the direction that 'proceeds with all the Bija like a violent torrent', which results in our transmigration following karma. Just now Master asked about how to cut off this karma. To cut off this karma, the only answer is to do good generation after generation, and to dedicate oneself to sentient beings. That¡¦s the only way to transcend Alaya-vijnana.

Master:

  The sixth consciousness should be transformed into 'Subtle Observing Wisdom'; the first five consciousnesses should be transformed into 'Wisdom of Fulfillment of Deeds'; the seventh consciousness, always discriminating between good and bad and attaching to oneself, should be transformed into 'Wisdom of the Equality in Nature'. Very difficult, very difficult, but we have to do this. Therefore, to cast off is complete transformation of Alaya-vijnana, liberation from governance and domination of Alaya-vijnana, and thus cultivation over kalpas. It is definitely not boast. Shakyamuni Buddha said in Lotus Sutra, that he had meditated for fifty minor kalpas, each over many aeons. So everyone, be sure to make clear your understanding. The Book of Moon-directing of Zen School is very difficult to understand. On the one hand it asks you to cultivate, on the other it asks you not to cultivate; moreover, it asks you neither to cultivate nor not to cultivate, which dizzies you, for the sake of Instant Revelation. What is Instant Revelation?

  It is covered in nine words:

  super wisdom, super ambition, super retribution (of good karma), is known as Instant Revelation.

  Instant Revelation is the behaviour in your life.

  Cast off. Instant Revelation.

It's revealed to be instant!

Ambition in Dream

Little monk Dan-yuan returned from visiting, drew a circle before the Patriarch, made obeisance and stood in the circle. The master said: 'You want to be Buddha, don't you?' (The monk) said: 'I don't know.' The master said: 'I am inferior to you.' The little monk didn't answer.

  There was a little monk named Dan-yuan who returned from visiting. He drew a circle before Patriarch Ma, made obeisance to Patriarch Ma, and stood there. Patriarch Ma was so smart that he asked immediately: 'Do you want to be Buddha?'

  Which means: You are so arrogant before me, so thoughtless. I have drawn a circle before, and you also follow my example. You think you understand, but it's nothing! You also want to be Grandmaster? You want to be Buddha? It's not ambition that I draw a circle and you follow my example in drawing a circle. So the little monk was scolded, severely! Drawing a gourd [Chinese proverb] following my ambition, you are so small.

  It's said that recently somebody dream of giving birth to a baby, who is actually some grandmaster, what an ambition!

  Psycho?

  Or not?

  'I don't know.' Master, I really don't understand.

  How did Patriarch Ma answer?

  'I am inferior to you.' I am not comparable to you.

  The little monk didn't answer. He didn't understand.

  On the one hand Patriarch Ma negated the little monk, one the other he affirmed. People are all involved in affirmation (existence) and negation (emptiness). Patriarch Ma gave a hint to the little monk, who unfortunately didn't receive it.

Shi-tou is Slippery

Deng Yin-feng bade farewell to the master. The master said: 'Where are you going?' (Feng) said: 'I am visiting Shi-tou.' The master said: 'Shi-tou is slippery. (The stone road is slippery.)' (Feng) said: 'With a bamboo rod, I will act according to circumstances.' He then left. Upon arrival, (Feng) walked around Shi-tou's meditating couch, rang his staff, and asked: 'What's your keynote?' Shi-tou said: 'Heaven! Heaven!' Feng was speechless, and reported back to the master. The master said: 'Go back to ask again. Once he answers, hiss twice.' Feng went again and asked as previously. Shi-tou then hissed twice. Again Feng was speechless and reported back to the master. The master said: 'I have long since told you that Shi-tou is slippery!'

  Patriarch Ma asked Deng Yin-feng where to go.

  Feng answered that he was visiting Master Shi-tou (Xi-qian).

  Patriarch Ma said: 'Shi-tou is slippery.' This is a semantic statement: Shi-tou is so tough that you may loose your footing, even your life.

  Deng Yin-feng answered: 'With a bamboo rod, there is neither slippery nor nonslippery for me. I am leisurely in the samadhi of oneself, around mountains and across rivers.

  Feng arrived at Shi-tou's place, walked around the meditating couch, and asked aloud:

  'What's this keynote?'

  Simply Shi-tou said:

  'Heaven! Heaven!'

  Which smoothed Feng's roaring immediately.

  Feng was speechless, and reported back to Patriarch Ma. Patriarch Ma told him:

  'Go back to Shi-tou again, don't roar but hiss twice.

  True grandmasters of Zen School are all in the Gaming Samadhi, whose speeches are in eternal joy. He is with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, with previous sages, full of sublime bliss, eternity, joy, personality, purity.

Meditate!

  Feng went again and asked as previously. Shi-tou hissed twice, and again Feng was speechless. Still, Feng didn't understand, and reported back to Patriarch Ma:

  I went there and hissed twice to Shi-tou (Xi-qian) as you said, while he also hissed twice.

  Patriarch Ma was playing spatial tautology of 1+1=2 and 4-2=2. Since there is no subtraction, there is no addition either.

  The world is between right and wrong, vulgar and conventional, long and short, but the space is relative only, without true long and short. Therefore, flying high in the sky, independent of heaven and earth, stretching a vision both limited and limitless:

  Such is Kwang-tzu who flys over the Milky Way.

Therefore:

  'The space created in your heart is like a wisp of cloud that dots the vast sky.'

  There was neither principle nor no principle for Patriarch Ma. The ten directions, North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and central Up and Down, all of the ten directions are dependable and not dependable, in union and beyond union. Patriarch Ma told him, 'I have long since told you that Shi-tou is slippery! You can't touch him!'

Beyond Long and Short

A monk drew four lines before the master, the upper one was long and the lower three were short. He said: 'Don't say one long three short. Apart from these four words, You abbot, please answer.' The master then drew a line and said: 'Don't say long and short. I have answered you.'

  A monk drew four lines on the ground before Patriarch Ma, one long three short, and asked Patriarch Ma to answer:

  Apart from these four words, how do you explain?

  Patriarch Ma drew a line on the ground for reply.

  The drawing of non-drawing is without discrimination, so where is the room for long and short? Long and Short are duality, not non-duality doctrine. How dare you draw here and ask me?

  There are Longer in Long, and Shorter in Short.

  There is a good saying by Kwang-tzu: 'That which is so great that there is nothing outside..., and that which is so small that there is nothing inside...'

Doctrines of Lion in Silence

A lecturer monk came to ask: 'What are the doctrines instructed in Zen School?' The master asked: 'I wonder the doctrines you lecturer instruct.' The lecturer said: 'Unworthily I instruct a score of sutras and treatises.' The master said: 'You are a young lion, aren't you?' The lecturer said: 'I don't deserve it.' The master hissed twice. The lecturer said: 'This is a doctrine.' The master asked: 'What doctrine?' The lecturer said: 'Doctrine of lion unkennelling.' The master was then silent. The lecturer said: 'This is also a doctrine.' The master asked: 'What doctrine?' The lecturer said: 'Doctrine of lion kennelling.' The master said: 'Neither unkennelling nor kennelling, what doctrine is it?' The lecturer failed to answer, and took leave out of the door. The master called: 'Lecturer.' The lecturer turned around. The master said: 'What is this?' The lecturer still failed to answer. The master said: 'What a dull lecturer!'

 A lecturer asked Patriarch Ma: 'What are the doctrines and scriptures instructed in Zen School?'

  Patriarch Ma asked him: 'What doctrines you lecturer instruct?'

  The lecturer answered: 'I have instructed a score of sutras.'

  Shakyamuni Buddha lectured as lion roaring. According to Visesacintabrahma-pariprccha, only true Bodhisattvas can lecture on sutras and doctrines.

  The master hissed. Patriarch Ma said: 'You roar as lion?'

  The lecturer said: 'It's awful that you are lecture to me, on doctrine of lion unkennelling.'

  Patriarch Ma was praised, and was silent.

  A doctor appreciated much his advising professor and consulted on society interaction after graduation. He reported to his advisor: 'Advisor, I have prepared ten top hats.' The advisor said: 'Who would believe in the top hat?' The student said: 'You advisor are so lofty, intelligent, merciful, cultured that few people can be like you.' The advisor: 'Hee, indeed.' The student said: 'I have nine left now.'

  If you truly understand Zen, here comes the true kong-fu, that I am in this way whether you scold, slander, or flatter me, and not moved by the eight winds [of praise, ridicule, ...]. After the true entry into Zen, you have to take action. Xie-an won a glory victory in the Battle of Fei River when silently playing chess. Such is the conventional business, let alone Zen. Therefore Grandmaster Xu-yun experienced five Emperors and four reign periods and kept silent. That is it! That is it!

  The lecturer said: 'This is also a doctrine that you are silent. Silence is not only wisdom but also Zen, a great doctrine of lion kennelling!'

  Patriarch Ma accepted his statement and continued to ask: 'Neither unkennelling nor kennelling, what doctrine is it?' Neither in the lion cavern nor out of the lion cavern, how do you think about this?

  The lecturer failed to answer.

  It's the doctrine to conform emptiness with emptiness but not to dwell on emptiness. The monk didn't receive it.

Beyond Reality and Convention

The Judge of Hong state asked: 'Which is correct, taking flesh and wine or not?'

The master said: 'It is Your Honor's benefit to take flesh and wine, otherwise it is Your Honor's goodness.

  The Judge of Hong state asked whether to take flesh and wine or not.

  Patriarch Ma answered: 'It is your benefit to take flesh and wine, otherwise it is greater goodness.'

  This is absolutely beyond reality and convention.

Does Water Spill out?

The master asked a monk: 'Where are you from?' (The monk) said: 'From Hu-nan.' The master asked: 'Does water spill out in the East Lake?' (The monk) said: 'No yet.' The master said: 'Rainwater doesn't spill out for long.'

  Patriarch Ma asked a monk, 'Where are you from?'

  (The monk) said: 'From Hu-nan.'

  Hu-nan is a land of fish and rice. Bumper harvest in Hu-nan (south) and Hu-bei (north) feeds the whole nation. Patriarch Ma continued to ask:

  'Does water spill out in the East Lake?'

  (The monk) said: 'No yet.'

  Patriarch Ma continued to say:

  'Water doesn't spill out in Hu-nan for long.'

  This is symbolic statement of metaphor, indicating the current state of Zen and Taoist figures in Hu-nan.

  Is Water spilling out in China?
