Another story: Pang Yun once fell down on the ground,
and seeing this, his daughter came and purposely fell
down beside him. Said Pang, "Why have you also
fallen?"
His daughter said, "I have just come to save you." Pang
just stood up and smiled.
Mr. Chen added, "But if I were Pang Yun, I would
say, 'You are falling into the ordinary condition.'"
Generally we have emphasized that daily life yoga is
subsidiary and is always considered after the main
practice, in order to integrate the miscellaneous
activities of life into the main meditation. In the second
section of "Daily Life Yoga," we have seen some
examples in all the three positions, but we must always
keep in mind that true Chan is in the highest position,
that of consequence, as are the examples given here.
When one actually obtains realization of Chan, this will
be found a great Dharma-benefit, but for the practice of
Chan in daily life at least the first three of the four
stages into which I have divided Chan must have been
reached.
