If everyone thinks they can just go through the motions and that is Chan, thinking they can achieve awakening in an instant or even interpreting Chan's pursuit of liberation as a kind of laxity, this is not only a dilution of the study of Chan, it is also a changing of its true nature.
法師表示，如果大家以為隨手拈來都是禪，以為一下子便可開悟證果，甚至將禪所追求的自由解釋為一種放縱，那不但沖淡了禪學，也是一種變質。
