Dharma Master Chongyuan asked, “Why shouldn’t one [regulate] the mind to realize the internal?” His Reverence replied, “That is the teaching of fools! Chan Master Huineng’s practice transcends the two Dharmas of regulating and not regulating. Therefore the text of the [Vimalakīrti] Sūtra [reads], ‘The mind does not abide within, nor is it located without: this is sitting in meditation....If one sits like this, the Buddha will [grant] the seal of certification.’ For the past six generations, no one ever [taught people to] ‘freeze the mind to enter meditation, fix the mind to view purity, activate the mind to illuminate the external, and concentrate the mind to realize the internal.’ That’s why [the teachings of Shenxiu and Huineng] are not the same.”
