Are there levels of understanding?

Master Kosen – Published on October 7 – teaching

Question

As I read Zen teachings, some texts and commentaries are simple and concise, while others are more elaborate or even complicated.

Are there levels of understanding, and are these teachings really different?

With my respects.

They are not different, but there are obviously different levels of understanding.
