For the practice of Silent Illumination are there any traditional texts you would recommend other then Hongzhi’s writings? I’ve never seemed to find many texts that relate to the practice even when it’s always said to be the counterpart of Huatou which is endless things written about it...
Also, how does Silent Illumination lead to sudden awakening? Since it seems much more similar to traditional meditation practices then Huatou which aims specifically for breaking through the karmic mind.
