From the Blue Cliff Record, Case 14 – Yunmen’s Appropriate Statement
With this pithy koan by Yunmen, in light of Atisha’s slogan #55, “Liberate yourself by examining and analyzing”, Hogen Sensei encourages us to clarify, on an ongoing basis, why we’re practicing and to trust our direct experience as a “way in”, a “journey of no distance.”
