Dharma Talk: Words, No Words by Konrad Ryushin Marchaj Sensei:
"Buddhas always offer complete teachings. They're never partial, never conventional, never provisional—they go to the heart of the matter and encompass everything that needs to be related. It is said that Master Yunmen's teachings, for example, always contained three phrases. First, they cut off the stream of thoughts. They allow for the mind to stop moving—blocking, disassembling, derailing the usual way of approaching reality. Two, they follow the waves, are appropriate to the questioner and the circumstances. And third, they cover heaven and earth. Nothing is excluded. The flower is a complete teaching—you cannot find a gap. Every bit of time and space is contained in the Buddha's response."
