Nanquan said, "I usually tell people: undertake it prior to the kalpa of emptiness, understand it before the Buddha appeared in the world; yet I still cannot find even half a person.

Tiantong is not faulting the ancients, but wishes all of you to understand. Do you? Let you play with the line at the rod's tip; not disturbing the clear waves, the intent is inherently distinct."
