Hullo! I found this on the blog-mast at http://perpetual-lab.blogspot.com/ :

. . . the answers and the reasons are anyone's guess.
Try not to seek after the true.
Only cease to cherish opinions. ---Hui-Neng

No. Seng Ts'an was the 3rd Zen Patriarch, and Hui Neng was the 6th.
Possibly 6th was quoting the 3rd, but more likely it's an incorrect attribution...
Not that he couldn't have said the same thing...
