When One First Seeks The Truth, One

Know That The True Dharma Emerges Of Itself [during The Practice Of Zazen], Clearing Away Hindrances And Distractions.

To Escape From The World Means That One's Mind Is Not Concerned With The Opinions Of The World.

Studying The Buddha Way Is Studying Oneself. Studying Oneself Is Forgetting Oneself. Forgetting Oneself Is Being Enlightened By All Things. Being Enlightened By All Things Is To Shed The Body-mind Of Oneself, And Those Of Others. No Trace Of Enlightenment Remains, And This Traceless Enlightenment Continues Endlessly.

Mountains And Oceans Have Whole Worlds Of Innumerable Wondrous Features. We Should Understand That It Is Not Only Our Distant Surroundings That Are Like This, But Even What Is Right Here, Even A Single Drop Of Water.

Those Who Seek The Easy Way Do Not Seek The True Way.
