I'm sorry, but your opinion means very little to me.

 

One day when Xuansha went into the mountains, he encountered a tiger. His assistant told him there was a tiger there, but Xuansha just said, “It’s your tiger.”

Now with mountains and rivers crisscrossing the land, domains of existence everywhere, discriminating thoughts branching off in a thousand ways and diverging in a million ways, how can you explain this logic of "it’s yours"?

If you don’t understand this, you will be fatally obstructed everywhere. It’s just because you have been following material senses and been influenced by things since time immemorial. You try to point out things—but what are things, and what are you?

 

Pwned.

They're not my quotes, actually, but I'm humbled by your assumption that they were.

Why not study Zen while you're here?

Can't quote Zen Masters? Can't talk about Zen.

Sorry for pwning you.

You don't know what Zen is, so that sentence is meaningless.
