In Autumn Even Though I May See

Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Grasp Onto The Physical Forms We See. Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Cling To The Sounds We Hear. As A Consequence, We Make Ourselves Inseparable From All Things, Yet We Are Not Like Some Shadowy Figure 'lodging' In A Mirror Or Like The Moon In Water. Whenever We Witness What Is On The One Side, Its Opposite Side Will Be In Darkness.

Every Man Possesses The Buddha-nature. Do Not Demean Yourselves.

Sitting Is The Gateway Of Truth To Total Liberation.

Time Is Three Eyes And Eight Elbows.

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.
