[MD] Chan and qi

[Heather Perella]

     ["Chan Buddhism" by Peter D. Hershock Copyright
2005]


     "...{Bodhidharma} said that 'the energy (qi) of
those who attain a realization through the medium of
written words is weak; those who attain realization
from their own circumstances and events will have
robust energy.  Seeing the Dharma in the medium of
events means never losing mindfulness anywhere.'  The
many portraits of Bodhidharma suggest precisely this
robust energy and unshakable attentiveness - a
presence that cuts through all complications and
confusions to reveal the possibility, here and now, of
awakening."
