If You Cannot Find The Truth Right

Refraining From All Evil, Not Clinging To Birth And Death, Working In Deep Compassion For All Sentient Beings, Respecting Those Over You And Pitying Those Below You, Without Any Detesting Or Desiring, Worrying Or Lamentation - This Is What Is Called Buddha. Do Not Search Beyond It.

If You Cannot Find The Truth Right Where You Are, Where Else Do You Expect To Find It?

What You Think In Your Own Mind To Be Good, Or What People Of The World Think Is Good, Is Not Necessarily Good.

The Zazen I Speak Of Is Not Learning Meditation. It Is Simply The Dharma Gate Of Repose And Bliss, The Practice-realization Of Totally Culminated Enlightenment. It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It. Once Its Heart Is Grasped, You Are Like The Dragon When He Gains The Water, Like The Tiger When She Enters The Mountain. For You Must Know That Just There (in Zazen) The Right Dharma Is Manifesting Itself And That, From The First, Dullness And Distraction Are Struck Aside.

Just As Parents Care For Their Children, You Should Bear In Mind The Whole Universe.
