To drink up the ocean 

And turn a mountain Upside down 

Is an ordinary affair for a Zen master

Zen seekers should Sit on the site of universal Enlightenment

In the midst of all the thorny Situations in life, 

And recognize their original face, 

While mixing With the ordinary world.

HUANGLONG HUINAN (1002 CE-1069 CE), HUANGLONG HUINAN was a disciple of Shishuang Chuyuan and founded the Huanglong branch of Linji Zen, whose successive generations of teachers resided on Mt. Huanglong for more than 150. Despite the relatively short existence of the school, its influence on Chinese society was widespread. The Japanese monk Myōan Esai, who is often regarded as the founder of Zen in Japan, studied with this school while visiting China.
