一概不是 林钰堂

将来皆不是,求是亦即非;
妄念全放下,当下全皆是。

禅门毒辣手段,凡有举问,一概回以不是。逼死妄念,以活转子孙。

此偈突如其来,于一分钟内,中、英文稿皆写出。禅机,禅机,此之谓欤!

All not Right

All not Right


All not Right Yutang Lin

Whatever brought up is not right.
Seeking after right is also wrong.
Once delusive thoughts are given up,
All would appear on their own right.

Comment:

Chan teachers would employ drastic measures; to all questions brought up they would reply with a denial. Forcing delusive thoughts to die out in order to resurrect their descendants.

This gatha came all of a sudden. In one minute both Chinese and English versions were written out. Chan opportunity, Chan opportunity, it should be like this!
