Chan Teacher Tiantong Rujing (Japanese: Tendō Nyojō, 1163-1228) was the root teacher of Eihei Dōgen Zenji (1200-1253), who brought Rujing’s Sōtō Zen lineage from China to Japan. In the Chinese Canon, Rujing’s Record of Sayings is quite large, filling two lengthy volumes. Rujing lived and taught at a handful of different monasteries before settling ...
Teacher Rujing invited the assembly for “requesting instruction.” Chengtian Ying asked, “Buddhas are illusory transformation bodies (nirmanakaya), ancestors are old monks (bhikshu). Do you, teacher, also avoid attainment?” Rujing then hit him. Ying bowed. Rujing said, “The authentic (正) is the basis of illusory transformation.”
Rujing offered an “open invitation” to present questions. Ruiyan Yuan asked, “What is the inexhaustible treasury?” Rujing said, “One must take the path ascending the clear sky; losing the way, one descends to the bottom of the water.” Yuan said, “How does a person who stands above the rest live?” Rujing said, “Beyond your limits.” Yuan said, “How i...
Huayan Qing asked Rujing, “What is the Dongshan lineage style?” Rujing said, “Mount Sumeru stands in the midst of vast space, with the sun and the moon turning around it.” Qing said, “One kind or two kinds?” Rujing said, “A multitude of mountain peaks inclining toward it, with the white clouds changing and transforming.” Qing then bowed. Rujing sai...
Zian Jie asked Rujing: “The World-Honored One said, ‘When I don’t see, why don’t you see my not seeing?’ (5) What is the meaning of this saying?” Rujing said, “If this old monk were to answer you, I would lose my descendants.” Jie said, “Fortunately, there is the interacting of the occasion.” Rujing said, “How does a learned person like you disting...
Yuelin Ling asked Rujing, “Fresh abundant snow is wrong; how to attain peace?” Rujing said, “A flute with no holes strikes the sounding board (han). One can’t say any more – no sound making sound is wrong.” Ling said, “What’s wrong with that?” Rujing said, “One relies on the other, and snow is wrong.” Satisfied, Ling bowed.
Rujing invited the assembly to enter the individual meeting room. Then I (Dōgen) asked, “How is it when there is not a wisp of cloud in the blue sky?” Rujing said, “This is still just half holding it up.” I asked, “When completely holding it up, at such a time how is it?” Rujing said, “After the blue sky’s power is exhausted, take one step after an...

Rujing was reputed to have a style of Chan that was different from the other masters whom Dōgen had thus far encountered. In later writings, Dōgen referred to Rujing as "the Old Buddha". Additionally he affectionately described both Rujing and Myōzen as senshi (先師, "Ancient Teacher").
Dr Liu shows how the mastery of Rujing is a fundamental skill vital to the practice of Qigong, and presents a new type of Qigong exercise which takes the achievement of Rujing as its primary goal. His scientific approach to meditation is a breakthrough in this area and will be of interest to practitioners of Qigong and related practices at any ...
