What Is The Way Of The Buddha?

To What Shall I Liken The World? Moonlight, Reflected In Dewdrops, Shaken From A Crane's Bill.

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

Do Not Be Amazed By The True Dragon.

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

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.
