In A Snowfall That Covers The Winter

Because Monks Come From The Midst Of Purity, They Consider As Good And Pure What Does Not Arouse Desire Among Other People.

Clearly I Know, The Mind Is Mountains, Rivers, And The Great Earth; Sun, Moon, And Stars.

Do Not Practice Buddha-dharma With The Thought That It Is To Benefit Others.

The One And Only Thing Required Is To Free Oneself From The Bondage Of Mind And Body Alike, Putting The Buddha's Own Seal Upon Yourself. If You Do This As You Sit In Ecstatic Meditation, The Whole Universe Itself Scattered Through The Infinity Of Space Turns Into Enlightenment. This Is What I Mean By The Buddha's Seal.

To Study The Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Enlightened By All Things Of The Universe. To Be Enlightened By All Things Of The Universe Is To Cast Off The Body And Mind Of The Self As Well As Those Of Others. Even The Traces Of Enlightenment Are Wiped Out, And Life With Traceless Enlightenment Goes On Forever And Ever
