Indeed JMJM. That attachment to the form doesn't allow the dharma flow.
Everything then gets into the mental level shading away all trace of Buddha
Nature as the entry door to it is closed by that attachement to the form.

Good morning to All,
As you know, Chan is taught without words or formalities. After
49 years, Buddha said that he did not say a single word. Why is
that?
Chan is the totality of all concepts and no concept. Chan is the
entirety and wholeness of the universe and is emptiness in
nature.
All dharma once spoken is no longer dharma. All truth once
explained is no longer complete.
If I may emphasize for your reference, every school has its logic,
approach and effectiveness. Each is different because of karma.
It is also because of karma that each of us enters a different
school. Yet at the same time, we and school are both just forms.
All discrimination against any concept, school or comment from
practitioner is resulted from our own attachment to forms. In
this case, the forms of words, logic and dharma. It is just our
ego at work and not our Buddha Nature.
Instead of looking into the forms containing all the impermanence,
incompleteness and relativity, it is our practice to look deeper
into their hearts and intentions piercing through the man made
inefficient tool of language.
At the end, you may just find that we are no different from the
other. Each is our mirror.
Just my opinion for your reference,
JM
