Licchavi Vimalakirti came to the foot of that tree and said to me, Reverend Sariputra, this is not the way to absorb yourself in contemplation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation so that neither body nor mind appear anywhere in the triple world. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest all ordinary behavior without forsaking cessation. You should absorb yourself in contemplation in such a way that you can manifest the nature of an ordinary person without abandoning your cultivated spiritual nature.

What is "Transmission"? Is it relevant to modern living - or should it be abolished? A reciever of transmission is a cross between a fully enlightened being, an absolute monarch and the lowest ranked person a society can produce! Such a person has unified their mind, body and spirit - and has balanced this entity with all aspects of the material environment. They are masters of their mind, body and spirit - can adjust their physical existence with the material environment and are are entirely "free" of attachment to any worldly agency. Although they are free to move psychologically and physically in any of the ten directions - they are just as prone to remain "silent" and "still".

In striving to perform one's religious duty, the first thing is to observe the rules of discipline. For discipline is the fundamental of the Supreme Bodhi; discipline begets immutability and immutability begets wisdom. Master Xu Yun.
