A Flower Falls, Even Though We Love

To What Shall I Liken The World? Moonlight, Reflected In Dewdrops, Shaken From A Crane's Bill.

When One First Seeks The Truth, One Separates Oneself From It.

The Recognition Of The Coming And Going Of Things Is A First Step In Training And Practice.

Studying The Buddha Way Is Studying Oneself. Studying Oneself Is Forgetting Oneself. Forgetting Oneself Is Being Enlightened By All Things. Being Enlightened By All Things Is To Shed The Body-mind Of Oneself, And Those Of Others. No Trace Of Enlightenment Remains, And This Traceless Enlightenment Continues Endlessly.

Students Of The Way Must Not Study Buddhism For The Sake Of Themselves. They Must Study Buddhism Only For The Sake Of Buddhism. The Key To This Is To Renounce Both Body And Mind Without Holding Anything Back And To Offer Them To The Great Sea Of Buddhism.
