People Who Truly Follow The Way Would

To Study The Buddha Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Actualized By Myriad Things. When Actualized By Myriad Things, Your Body And Mind As Well As The Bodies And Minds Of Others Drop Away. No Trace Of Realization Remains, And This No Trace Continues Endlessly.

In The Assemblies Of The Enlightened Ones There Have Been Many Cases Of Mastering The Way Bringing Forth The Heart Of Plants And Trees; This Is What Awakening The Mind For Enlightenment Is Like. The Fifth Patriarch Of Zen Was Once A Pine-planting Wayfarer; Rinzai Worked On Planting Cedars And Pines On Mount Obaku. . . . Working With Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls, If They Practice Sincerely They Will Attain Enlightenment.

You Should Stop Searching For Phrases And Chasing After Words. Take The Backward Step And Turn The Light Inward. Your Body-mind Of Itself Will Drop Off And Your Original Face Will Appear. If You Want To Attain Just This, Immediately Practice Just This.

Consider That Nirvana Is Itself No Other Than Our Life.

When Both Body And Mind Are At Peace, All Things Appear As They Are: Perfect, Complete, Lacking Nothing.
