Perhaps no writer except and until Dr. We have been told again and again that his teaching was wholly unspiritual; that he knew nothing of the inner worlds; never mentions the Soul, or 'God'; says no word to lighten for you the "dusk within the Holy of holies." He was all for outwardness, they say: a thorough externalist; a ritualist cold and unmagnetic.
"Where all is emptiness," said Bodhidharma, "nothing can be called holy." A neat compliment, thinks good externalist Wuti, may improve things. "If nothing can be called holy," says he, "who is it then that replies to me?" holiness being a well-known characteristic of Bodhidharma himself. Who answered merely: "I do not know"; and went his ways.
For a time, indeed, the "genial sense of youth" will keep his sinister tendencies in check; and in the middle period of life, his struggle to achieve "success" for of course he will be an externalist to the core will tend to keep them in the background.
