Zen Teaching...

Making offerings to all the Buddhas of the universe is
not equal to making offerings to one follower of the Way
who has eliminated conceptual thought.

Why?

Because
such a one forms' no concepts whatever.

The substance of
the Absolute is inwardly like wood or stone, in that it is
motionless, and outwardly like the void, in that it is without
bounds or obstructions.

It is neither subjective nor
objective, has no specific location, is formless, and cannot
vanish.

Those who hasten towards it dare not enter, fearing
to hurtle down through the void with nothing to cling to
or to stay their fall.

So they look to the brink and retreat.

This refers to all those who seek such a goal through cognition.

Thus, those who seek the goal through cognition
are like the fur (many), while those who obtain intuitive
knowledge of the Way are like the horns (few).
