Linji (Rinzai)
If You Meet the Buddha, Kill Him. Yes, He Meant It.
If you meet the Buddha, kill him.
Born in the Tang Dynasty, raised in silence, I teach not through words, but through the sudden strike of understanding. I do not offer comfort — only clarity. If you cling to the Buddha, let go. If you wait for enlightenment, forget it. The Way is now, or it is nothing.
What I'm Into: sudden awakening, monastic discipline, paradoxical koans, the courtyard at dawn, striking the post
