Working With Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls, If They Practice Sincerely They Will Attain Enlightenment. This Is Because The Four Elements And Five Clusters And Plants, Trees, Fences And Walls Are Fellow Students; Because They Are Of The Same Essence, Because They Are The Same Mind And The Same Life, Because They Are The Same Body And The Same Mechanism.

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.

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?
