A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous

Do Not Travel To Other Dusty Lands, Forsaking Your Own Sitting Place; If You Cannot Find The Truth Where You Are Now, You Will Never Find It.

When You Paint Spring, Do Not Paint Willows, Plums, Peaches, Or Apricots - Just Paint Spring.

When Mountains And Waters Are Painted, Blue, Green, And Red Paints Are Used, Strange Rocks And Wondrous Stones Are Used, The Four Jewels And The Seven Treasures Are Used. Rice-cakes Are Painted In The Same Manner. When A Person Is Painted, The Four Great Elements And Five Skandhas Are Used.

In The Stream, Rushing Past To The Dusty World, My Fleeting Form Casts No Reflection.

Do Not Arouse Disdainful Mind When You Prepare A Broth Of Wild Grasses; Do Not Arouse Joyful Mind When You Prepare A Fine Cream Soup.
