Though It Has No Thought Of Keeping

Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Grasp Onto The Physical Forms We See. Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Cling To The Sounds We Hear. As A Consequence, We Make Ourselves Inseparable From All Things, Yet We Are Not Like Some Shadowy Figure 'lodging' In A Mirror Or Like The Moon In Water. Whenever We Witness What Is On The One Side, Its Opposite Side Will Be In Darkness.

Truth Is Not Far Away. It Is Nearer Than Near. There Is No Need To Attain It, Since Not One Of Your Steps Leads Away From It.

Those Who Practice Know Whether Realization Is Attained Or Not, Just As Those Who Drink Water Know Whether It Is Hot Or Cold

The Color Of The Mountains Is Buddha's Body; The Sound Of Running Water Is His Great Speech.

If He Cannot Stop The Mind That Seeks After Fame And Profit, He Will Spend His Life Without Finding Peace.
