Look For Buddha Outside Your Own Mind,

You Should Stop Searching For Phrases And Chasing After Words. Take The Backward Step And Turn The Light Inward. Your Body-mind Of Itself Will Drop Off And Your Original Face Will Appear. If You Want To Attain Just This, Immediately Practice Just This.

Students Today Should Live Fully Every Moment Of Time. This Dew-like Life Fades Away; Time Speeds Swiftly. In This Short Life Of Ours, Avoid Involvement In Superfluous Things And Just Study The Way.

I Asked, "what Are Words?" The Tenzo Said, "one, Two, Three, Four, Five." I Asked Again, "what Is Practice?" "nothing In The Entire Universe Is Hidden."

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.
