Hello ED,
I often say what my posts have no value. Don't be trapped by my words
or any word. Because....
Chan is taught without words and outside of all religious practices.
Then what was taught?
Just a meditative practice to conquer ourselves and enhance our energy.
When our energy gradually enhances, transformations to our body, mind
and spirit occurs. Then all words will sync in and making sense. It is
that simple.
What our school teaches is called the 『秘密內證法』. Literally
translates into "Secret Inner Witness Dharma". Part of it was absorbed
into Tibetan Buddhism. Fancy words to say the same thing. It was
originally passed from Chan Master to Chan Master. As you know Chan is
always "transmitted" on a one-to-one basis. It is not a transmission of
stamps or certificates. It is a transmission of our life's energy. And
the purest form of energy is light, which many of our practitioners
already experience in different way. We all can.
I am very grateful that my Teacher decided to teach every sentient being
this most precious way to enlightenment.

JMJM, it appears to me that the source of the problem is in the
multitude of speculative assumptions in Chan.
