Dharma Discourse: Where Is the Barrier by Geoffrey Shugen Arnold Sensei:
From the introduction, 'the Pointer':
"The buddhas never appeared in the world—there is nothing to be given to people. The Ancestor never came from the West—he never passed on the transmission by mind. Since people of these times do not understand, they frantically search outside themselves. They are far from knowing that the One Great Matter right where they are cannot be grasped even by a thousand sages."
