A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous

The Color Of The Mountains Is Buddha's Body; The Sound Of Running Water Is His Great Speech.

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."

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 Recognition Of The Coming And Going Of Things Is A First Step In Training And Practice.

To Study The Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self.
