Can laity go to the temple to meditate?

Of course.

Anyone, or not, can go to the temple to meditate, as long as he is the foundation of meditation.

But then again, meditation is not easy.

Master Yongming said:

Zen and pure land are like a tiger with horns. They are teachers in this life and buddhas in the next.

Without Zen, there is pure land, and thousands of people go. If you can see Tommy, why not be enlightened?

Zen has no pure land, ten people and nine roads. If the shadow passes, let it go.

No Zen, no pure land, iron bed and copper pillars, thousands of lives, no one to rely on.
