Do Not Practice Buddha-dharma With The Thought

When You Walk In The Mist, You Get Wet.

When A Buddha Is Painted, Not Only A Clay Altar Or Lump Of Earth Is Used, But The Thirty-two Marks, A Blade Of Grass, And The Cultivation Of Wisdom For Incalculable Eons Are Used. As A Buddha Has Been Painted On A Single Scroll In This Way, All Buddhas Are Painted Buddhas, And All Painted Buddhas Are Actual Buddhas.

When You Paint Spring, Do Not Paint Willows, Plums, Peaches, Or Apricots, But Just Paint Spring. To Paint Willows, Plums, Peaches, Or Apricots Is To Paint Willows, Plums, Peaches, Or Apricots - It Is Not Yet Painting Spring.

In Doing Zazen It Is Desirable To Have A Quiet Room. You Should Be Temperate In Eating And Drinking, Forsaking All Delusive Relationships. Setting Everything Aside, Think Of Neither Good Nor Evil, Right Nor Wrong. Thus Having Stopped The Various Functions Of Your Mind, Five Up Even The Idea Of Becoming A Buddha.

Enlightenment Is Intimacy With All Things.
