3.18

[The Master] cited the sūtra: "If one sees all characteristics as non-characteristics, one sees the Tathāgata." Fayan said, "If one sees all characteristics as non-characteristics, one does not see the Tathāgata." The Master said, "The World-Honoured One spoke of Tathāgata Chan; Fayan spoke of Patriarchal Chan. Understanding it is very extraordinary; not understanding it is also permitted."
