taken up). The sentence is: "Rely on the teaching not the teacher" - Supports up to the doctrine, not on the teacher. Just as the Zen training is usually structured, can that work hard. And somehow, this picture is also slanted. As one might even say: "If you need vitamins, rely on medicine, not the pharmacist." And if one then cyanide Unters Vitamin C powder mixed? Why do I need it because if he does not mastered his job? No, that simply is not. Indeed, it is even easier: If you are not under control, should not teach. And if he does and yet it belies his own doctrine - then that is good for his doctrine nothing (because obviously it is no more than lip service) .
So where are the teachers who fail on their own needs (and those of the Dharma) is not? Where is the living proof of the veracity of a Dharma (or more precisely, its moral teachings) is?
And here are some findings from a novel.
"The heads of those who call themselves monks, shaved bald, and shining always blue. Is it hot, they stretch over her bald head, sun umbrellas. Is it cold, the skull is wrapped in a hood. So why they shave their heads? Mock not any reason? "
"As a long time ago one was asked in those days famous Zen master, as one could go to for enlightenment, is said to have replied to this: 'Behave like a cat who goes off on a rat'. "
