"Because Zen seekers are searching too eagerly, they think there must be a special principle, so they try to describe it to themselves mentally, in a subjective way. Thus they are swept by the machinations of emotive and intellectual conciousness into something that is created and will perish." - Yingan Tanhua (1103-1163)
