If You Want To See Things Just

Know That The True Dharma Emerges Of Itself [during The Practice Of Zazen], Clearing Away Hindrances And Distractions.

Coming, Going, The Waterbirds, Don't Leave A Trace, Don't Follow A Path.

When Other Sects Speak Well Of Zen, The First Thing That They Praise Is Its Poverty.

Whenever Learners Or Those Beyond Learning Awaken The Mind, For The First Time They Plant One Buddha-nature. Working With The Four Elements And Five Clusters, If They Practice Sincerely They Attain Enlightenment. Working With Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls, If They Practice Sincerely They Will Attain Enlightenment. This Is Because The Four Elements And Five Clusters And Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls Are Fellow Students; Because They Are Of The Same Essence, Because They Are The Same Mind And The Same Life, Because They Are The Same Body And The Same Mechanism.

To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Enlightened By The Ten Thousand Things.
