Your Body Is Like A Dew-drop On

If You Want To Travel The Way Of Buddhas And Zen Masters, Then Expect Nothing, Seek Nothing, And Grasp Nothing.

Just Study Buddhism. Don't Follow The Sentiments Of The World.

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.

Life And Death Are Nothing But The Mind. Years, Months, Days, And Hours Are Nothing But The Mind. Dreams, Illusions, And Mirages Are Nothing But The Mind. The Bubbles Of Water And The Flames Of Fire Are Nothing But The Mind. The Flowers Of The Spring And The Moon Of The Autumn Are Nothing But The Mind. Confusions And Dangers Are Nothing But The Mind.

The Zazen I Speak Of Is Not Learning Meditation. It Is Simply The Dharma Gate Of Repose And Bliss, The Practice-realization Of Totally Culminated Enlightenment. It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It. Once Its Heart Is Grasped, You Are Like The Dragon When He Gains The Water, Like The Tiger When She Enters The Mountain. For You Must Know That Just There (in Zazen) The Right Dharma Is Manifesting Itself And That, From The First, Dullness And Distraction Are Struck Aside.
