A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous

To Study The Buddha Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Actualized By Myriad Things. When Actualized By Myriad Things, Your Body And Mind As Well As The Bodies And Minds Of Others Drop Away. No Trace Of Realization Remains, And This No Trace Continues Endlessly.

Your Body Is Like A Dew-drop On The Morning Grass, Your Life Is As Brief As A Flash Of Lightning. Momentary And Vain, It Is Lost In A Moment.

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.

Do Not Doubt That Mountains Walk Simply Because They May Not Appear To Walk Like Humans.

There Are Thousands Upon Thousands Of Students Who Have Practiced Meditation And Obtained Its Fruits. Do Not Doubt Its Possibilities Because Of The Simplicity Of The Method. If You Can Not Find The Truth Right Where You Are, Where Else Do You Expect To Find It?
