After this Baizhang found a carcass of fox at a hill behind the temple and performed the ceremony of cremation.
After hearing this story, Baizhang's leading disciple Huangbo asked him "If the old man became an fox for 500 rebirths because of a wrong word, what would have happened to him if he had given a right word every time?" Baizhang said to him "Come here.
Baizhang applauded his disciple saying "I heard that the barbarian(Bodhidharma)'s beard was red.

Baizhang said, “Bring me some fire.” Guishan replied, “Okay, right away.” When Guishan returned he brought a stick to Baizhang who said, “Well, where is it?” Guishan turned the stick around in his hand, blew on it three times, and handed it back to Baizhang.
Baizhang called out, “Who is it?” Daigui answered, “Me, Lingyou.” Baizhang said, “Go and stir up those coals and see if anything’s burning.” Daigui did as instructed and when he returned told Baizhang that the fire was out.

Baizhang Huaihai (also known as Hyakujo), while not in our lineage, stands as a bridge across time linking me in a circuitous fashion to Dogen-zenji.
It is on this that Baizhang is said to have based the likewise legendary Baizhang Qingguei (J. Hyakujo shingi).
Baizhang's legendary insistence on an honest day's work probably kept Ch'an alive in a number of ways.

For example, among Seon Master Mazu’s pupils was Seon Master Baizhang Huaihai (749-814).
Baizhang instituted the pure rules for the Seon cloister and made the very first Seon collective practice monastery (chongnim).
Moreover, he personally practiced the lifestyle principle of, “if one does not work for a day, one does not eat for a day,” and instituted a key of the Seon cloister community that concentrated on practice while living self-sufficiently.

After Mazu and Shitou the next personality to help significantly shape the institutions of Zen would be Baizhang Huaihai, a Dharma heir of Master Mazu.
Baizhang is said to have established a Zen monastic rule, the first great shift from the Vinaya organization of Indian monasticism.
Of enormous importance for the development of the Zen schools numerous "lamp" accounts of the lives and teachings of prominent monks and nuns began to be compiled.

Twenty years laters, since he had no affinity with Baizhang, he left for Yaoshan's temple.
Baizhang Huaihai (749-814) is one of the most famous of all Tang-period chan masters and is remembered mainly for his work on monastic rules for the chan school, which in later centuries became normative for Chinese Buddhism in general.
It is remarkable to think that Dongshan Liangjie's teacher Yunyan studied with Baizhang for twenty years before turning to Yaoshan for transmission.

 The Textual History of the Linji lu
Guishan was a dharma-heir of Baizhang, a fellow student with Huangbo.
Guishan, as we have seen, was a fellow disciple with Huangbo of Baizhang Huaihai.
In effect, they represented a competing lineage to Linji, and their comments here may be interpreted as a disingenuous charade by the Linji faction to confer legitimacy upon themselves through sanction from rivals.

 The Rules of Zen Studies
Within such Chan training temples a new spirit of monkish involvement in manual labor developed, according to this idealized portrait, partly out of the refusal to participate in ordinary fundraising activities and partly through the more profound need to have the effort of spiritual training permeate every instant and activity.
For him Baizhang's authorship is unquestioned fact, and it is not a problem that there exists no contemporary enumeration of the rules Baizhang supposedly implemented.
Indeed, the religious context of the earliest version of these rules (which dates from the beginning of the twelfth century) is entirely beyond the concern of Dumoulin, who has already shifted his attentions to Kamakura Japan.

 The Trickster
However, the trick of jarring or startling the student is not always simply through words; the members of the Linji "Lamp," one of the Five Lamps of the Wudeng, were notorious for wielding staffs, yelling and striking their students, in a fashion seemingly departing from the traditional model of a calm and nonviolent religion.
One of the founders of the Linji school, Baizhang Huaihai (720-814 AD) once played the role of "trickster" against his whole congregation:
At first impression, it may seem to the reader that perhaps the rigors of monastic life had affected Baizhang's sanity, but the very fact that the event was recorded suggests that these actions were a purposeful trick played on the monks to shock them into an awakening, a basic tenet of the Linji school.

In the next paragraph he says, “Right at the start Daowu should have given him [Yunyan] a blow of the staff across his back to avoid so many complications appearing later:’ Here he emphasizes the need for Yunyan to be intimate with the thousand hands and eyes.

 Rinzai-Obaku zen | What is Zen? - History
The teaching line of Huineng flourished, eventually forming the mainstream of Chinese Zen and giving rise to the various traditions known as the Five Houses and Seven Schools.
Three generations after Huineng, the master Baizhang Huaihai 百丈懷海 (J., Hyakujo Ekai; 749–814) laid the foundations of the Zen monastic life, with manual labor as a central part of the daily schedule (he is known for his famous dictum, “A day of no work—a day of no eating”).
His monastic rule, the Chanlin qinggui 禪林清規, no longer exists in its original form, but all subsequent forms of Zen monasticism have been influenced by his ideas on meditation practice and architectural design for the Zen monastery.

 Introduction
During the Tang dynasty, Zen Master Huaihai of Baizhang was the ninth Zen Patriarch in China.
He established the code of monastic conduct in the Chan Monastery and pursued the goal of “A day without working is a day without eating.” He taught his disciples, “The Buddha nature is not polluted and is readily profound in you.
You are the Buddha at the very moment you are away from illusive thoughts.” Master Huaihai’s practices were perfect manifestations of the “Three Links of Cultivation.”

Enlightenment is then not such a big deal, not anything to obsessively search for.
Chan master Baizhang Huaihai said to his disciple Wei Shan upon Wei Shan’s small realization, “There is no dharma, and there is no mind.” Enlightenment is our natural state of openness, and therefore nothing to be excited about.
In practice, it is enough to continually be familiar with this natural mind—nothing more, nothing less.
