When You Walk In The Mist, You

As I Study Both The Exoteric And The Esoteric Schools Of Buddhism, They Maintain That Human Beings Are Endowed With Dharma-nature By Birth. If This Is The Case, Why Did The Buddhas Of All Ages - Undoubtedly In Possession Of Enlightenment - Find It Necessary To Seek Enlightenment And Engage In Spiritual Practice?

Through One Word, Or Seven Words, Or Three Times Five, Even If You Investigate Thoroughly Myriad Forms, Nothing Can Be Depended Upon. Night Advances, The Moon Glows And Falls Into The Ocean. The Black Dragon Jewel You Have Been Searching For, Is Everywhere.

If You Want To See Things Just As They Are, Then You Yourself Must Practice Just As You Are.

In The Assemblies Of The Enlightened Ones There Have Been Many Cases Of Mastering The Way Bringing Forth The Heart Of Plants And Trees; This Is What Awakening The Mind For Enlightenment Is Like. The Fifth Patriarch Of Zen Was Once A Pine-planting Wayfarer; Rinzai Worked On Planting Cedars And Pines On Mount Obaku. . . . Working With Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls, If They Practice Sincerely They Will Attain Enlightenment.

To Be In Harmony With The Wholeness Of Things Is Not To Have Anxiety Over Imperfections.
