Truth Is Not Far Away. It Is

No Matter How Bad A State Of Mind You May Get Into, If You Keep Strong And Hold Out, Eventually The Floating Clouds Must Vanish And The Withering Wind Must Cease.

One Must Be Deeply Aware Of The Impermanence Of The World.

Yet You Must Not Cling To The Words Of The Old Sages Either; They, Too, May Not Be Right. Even If You Believe Them, You Should Be Alert So That, In The Event That Something Superior Comes Along, You May Follow That.

I Asked, "what Are Words?" The Tenzo Said, "one, Two, Three, Four, Five." I Asked Again, "what Is Practice?" "nothing In The Entire Universe Is Hidden."

Look For Buddha Outside Your Own Mind, And Buddha Becomes The Devil.
