“Followers of the Way, if you want insight into dharma as it is, just don’t be taken in by the deluded views of others. Whatever you encounter, either within or without, slay it at once. On meeting a buddha slay the buddha, on meeting a patriarch slay the patriarch, on meeting an arhat slay the arhat, on meeting your parents slay your parents, on meeting your kinsman slay your kinsman, and you attain emancipation. By not cleaving to things, you freely pass through.” BuddhismEnlightenmentZenDharmaZen BuddhismLinji Yixuan Book:The Zen Teachings of Master Lin-Chi Source: The Zen Teachings of Master Lin-Chi
