Let Your Heart Go Out And Abide

Practice And Enlightenment Are Not Two.

When Mountains And Waters Are Painted, Blue, Green, And Red Paints Are Used, Strange Rocks And Wondrous Stones Are Used, The Four Jewels And The Seven Treasures Are Used. Rice-cakes Are Painted In The Same Manner. When A Person Is Painted, The Four Great Elements And Five Skandhas Are Used.

To Start From The Self And Try To Understand All Things Is Delusion. To Let The Self Be Awakened By All Things Is Enlightenment.

Meditation Is Not A Way To Enlightenment, Nor Is It A Method Of Achieving Anything At All. It Is Peace Itself. It Is The Actualization Of Wisdom, The Ultimate Truth Of The Oneness Of All Things.
