“Hui-neng does not teach people to assume a meditation posture, then to focus their attention on their breath or some other object of contemplation, then to enter into a trance state of oneness with that object, and having done so, then to give rise to wisdom. He teaches people, that whether they sit, walk, stand, or lie down, to use the lamp of meditation to fill the ten directions with the light of wisdom. Hui-neng does not teach one kind of Zen for beginners and another kind for advanced students. He only teaches One Practice Samadhi, for one mind, the buddha mind, which is no mind, and which is our original nature.”(Platform Sutra)
