Thank you for the link! This is very easy and pleasant reading. Smile This is a quote from the text on that site:

“When you become enlightened to the Sudden Teaching, you do not grasp onto the cultivation of external things. When your own mind constantly gives rise to right views, afflictions and defilement can never stain you. That is what is meant by seeing your own nature.”

Found this recently. A beautiful and simple treatise on chan by one of its greatest modern masters.

Empty Cloud - The Teachings of Xu Yun

For more on Xu Yun see his wiki page, a fascinating life in an interesting period in Chinas history.

But Dogen is Zen, and not Ch'an.
