Bill!,
This is just for you, from Ch'an Master Hongzhi, of China, contemporary of
Dogen, of Japan.
Hongzhi taught the method of "Silent Illumination", and wrote extensively on
it: his famous poem "Silent Illumination"; and, commentaries.
One line of commentary is just for you:
"Therefore it is said, 'Having the Dao of no-mind, one can be like this; having
not yet gained no-mind, it is extremely difficult!' "
(we can all learn from this. But you won't have to. You could have written
it. In fact, I think you DO, here, regularly!)
