Huangbo

 The Reading: 

"'Studying the Way’ is just a figure of speech [...] In fact, the Way is not something which can be studied." 

It all seems so easy, so why do we have to live to see a day like this? Can’t you understand that in the whole Empire of the T’ang there are no ‘teachers of Zen’?” A monk stepped forth and asked, “How can you say that? At this very moment, as all can see, we are sitting face to face with one who has appeared in the world to be a teacher of monks and a leader of men!” Please note that I did not say there is no Zen. I merely pointed out that there are no teachers!"
