I have always loved certain c'han sayings for their clarity, freedom, and openness. I hope to post a series of these, in the hopes that you may find them refreshing and energizing, regardless of your school or system.
Hóngzhì Zhēngjué, (宏智正覺) 1091-1157 CE
When you are empty and spontaneously aware, clean and spontaneously clear, you are capable of panoramic consciousness without making an effort to grasp perception, and you are capable of discerning understanding without the burden of conditioned thought. You go beyond being and nothingness, and transcend conceiveable feelings. This is only experienced by a union with it - it is not gotten by another.
and
The time when you "see the sun in the daytime and see the moon at night", when you are not deceived, this is the normal behavior of a meditative practitioner, naturally without edges or seams. If you want to attain this kind of normalcy, you have to put an end to the subtle pounding and weaving that goes on in your mind.
hongzhi zhengjue left home at the age of 11 to become a monk. he taught for 30 years at the jingde tian-tong mountain monastery, until shortly before his death, when he ventured down the mountain to bid his supporters farewell.
