This sentence is about Zen. Without writing, there is no writing, but you can communicate with your heart. Don't preach outside the church, which means it is different from what is taught under the church. Pointing directly at people's hearts means pointing directly at the nature of all beings, breaking people's hearts and not following the steps. It is convenient to regard nature as a Buddha, that is, to see all the laws and go straight to the Tathagata. Meditators are sharp weapons, otherwise it is difficult to understand their true meaning.

No preaching, no rhetoric. Pointing directly at people's hearts, seeing nature becomes Buddha. "This is the main feature of ancient Zen. And' don't write' is one of the representative sentences of this feature. Emphasis is placed on the characteristics of Zen's' heart-to-heart communication'. In other words, Zen believes that the mind method can only be transmitted from the heart, and there is no need to write another text.

2. "Don't write, don't tell people, point to people's hearts, and see nature become Buddha" means that in addition to teaching in written language, people can directly understand the nature of the world through the method of "Zen" (a method of exploring people's original heart), and the current "seeing nature with a clear heart" has laid a solid foundation for the achievements of Buddhism and Taoism.

3. As a religious language, Zen always tries to guide believers to think absolutely and beyond the object, which determines the inevitability of Zen's "no language", so there are four sentences: leaving the phase, leaving the country, not thinking, unintentional, exceeding the object, and saying nothing. Zen cannot be said to be based on some characteristics of Zen itself.
