-- Old Shakyamuni --

[Many times Zen Masters are known by the mountain where their monastery was located. For Example: Zen Master Baizhang Huaihai was known by the name of the Mount Baizhang. His actual name was Huaihai.]
Zen Master Yangqi addressed the monks, saying, “There is no great meaning on Yangqi. What you sow you’ll reap! Old Shakyamuni was talking in a dream. Where will you find any trace of it now?”
Yangqi then struck the meditation platform and shouted, “Practice!”

There are two types of knowledge: One which can be transferred and other which cannot be transferred. If a Newton comes to know about Law of Gravitation, you do not need to reinvent it again. You can just read any book and come to know that. But life experiences cannot be transmitted so easily. You have to reinvent again.

This is what Master Yangqi is saying. Practice! Meditate yourself. Don’t just cram the words of Buddha!
