To Study The Way Is To Study

Although Its Light Is Wide And Great, The Moon Is Reflected In A Puddle One Inch Wide. The Whole Moon And The Entire Sky Is Reflected In One Dew Drop On The Grass.

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.

What Is Reality? An Icicle Forming In Fire.

Every Man Possesses The Buddha-nature. Do Not Demean Yourselves.

Do Not Practice Buddha-dharma With The Thought That It Is To Benefit Others.
