Part 6/9:

In contrast, some teachings emphasize a sudden awakening, exemplified by teachings like those from the Sixth Chain of Teachers. For instance, Huanglong (Huineng) states: "Enlightenment has no tree, nor is the mirror upright—nothing is covered with dust." This perspective encourages realizing the emptiness of all phenomena, recognizing that in essence, there is no separate "other" to help. When we delve into this understanding, we see that helping others is a skillful means, not an act of charity toward a separate entity but an expression of recognizing the non-duality of all existence.
