Abstract
There is no other task but to know your own original face. This is called independence; the spirit is clear and free. If you say there is some particular doctrine or patriarchy, you’ll be totally cheated. Just look into your heart; there is no transcendental clarity. Just have no greed and no dependency and you will immediately attain certainty. (Yen-t’ou, 828–887, as cited in Cleary, 1998, p. 32)
