When Other Sects Speak Well Of Zen,

If You Do Not Get It From Yourself, Where Will You Go For It?

Yet, Though It Is Like This, Simply, Flowers Fall Amid Our Longing And Weeds Spring Up Amid Our Antipathy.

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.

Working With Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls, If They Practice Sincerely They Will Attain Enlightenment.

The One And Only Thing Required Is To Free Oneself From The Bondage Of Mind And Body Alike, Putting The Buddha's Own Seal Upon Yourself. If You Do This As You Sit In Ecstatic Meditation, The Whole Universe Itself Scattered Through The Infinity Of Space Turns Into Enlightenment. This Is What I Mean By The Buddha's Seal.
