A Flower Falls, Even Though We Love

Students Today Should Live Fully Every Moment Of Time. This Dew-like Life Fades Away; Time Speeds Swiftly. In This Short Life Of Ours, Avoid Involvement In Superfluous Things And Just Study The Way.

Just Practice Good, Do Good For Others, Without Thinking Of Making Yourself Known So That You May Gain Reward. Really Bring Benefit To Others, Gaining Nothing For Yourself. This Is The Primary Requisite For Breaking Free Of Attachments To The Self.

If You Want To Travel The Way Of Buddhas And Zen Masters, Then Expect Nothing, Seek Nothing, And Grasp Nothing.

Do Not Be Amazed By The True Dragon.

When A Buddha Is Painted, Not Only A Clay Altar Or Lump Of Earth Is Used, But The Thirty-two Marks, A Blade Of Grass, And The Cultivation Of Wisdom For Incalculable Eons Are Used. As A Buddha Has Been Painted On A Single Scroll In This Way, All Buddhas Are Painted Buddhas, And All Painted Buddhas Are Actual Buddhas.
