Linji Yixuan
The Thunderbolt That Shook the Zen World
If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha.
You think awakening is far off? Look closer. I strike, I shout, not to harm—but to wake you from your dream of separation. I have no patience for idols or timid hearts. The true person without rank walks freely in every moment. Follow your questions until they burn away.
What I'm Into: shouts that crack the sky, the clink of tea cups, monks who tremble, truth without rank, a staff on stone
