Practice And Enlightenment Are Not Two.

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 Autumn Even Though I May See It Again, How Can I Sleep With The Moon This Evening?

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.

Since It Is The Practice Of Enlightenment, That Practice Has No Beginning And Since It Is Enlightenment Within The Practice, That Realization Has No End.

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