禪關策進 1.10

1.10

評曰。此後代提公案。看話頭之始也。然不必執定無字。或無字。或萬法。或須彌山。或死了燒了等。或參究念佛。隨守一則。以悟為期。所疑不同。悟則無二。

Appraisal: This is the beginning of later generations bringing up gongan and inspecting the huatou. Yet one need not fixate exclusively on the character Wu. Whether it be the character Wu, or ‘the ten thousand dharmas’, or Mount Sumeru, or ‘dead and cremated’, and so forth, or investigating buddhānusmṛti—simply adhere to one case, with awakening as your goal. The doubts may differ, but the awakening is not two.
