Let them say what they will. I say:
Why assume the role of magician working to perform some disappearing
act when you sit?
This sort of effort, rejecting form, is attachment to form. Thought
forms, forms of effort...
Thoughts present no obstacle to this. They may only appear to (thus
pointing to this).
Cessation is effortless realization. Realization is effortless
cessation.
The only hard things in Buddhism are the statues. To sit as
serenely, don't try to become one.

is empty and every thought is still. You go from one buddhaland to
another. If you use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is
disturbed and every thought is in motion. You go from one hell to
the next." - Bodhidharma [Red Pine translation]
