In A Mind Clear As Still Water,

Do Not Travel To Other Dusty Lands, Forsaking Your Own Sitting Place; If You Cannot Find The Truth Where You Are Now, You Will Never Find It.

The Color Of The Mountains Is Buddha's Body; The Sound Of Running Water Is His Great Speech.

When Mountains And Waters Are Painted, Blue, Green, And Red Paints Are Used, Strange Rocks And Wondrous Stones Are Used, The Four Jewels And The Seven Treasures Are Used. Rice-cakes Are Painted In The Same Manner. When A Person Is Painted, The Four Great Elements And Five Skandhas Are Used.

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?

To Be In Harmony With The Wholeness Of Things Is Not To Have Anxiety Over Imperfections.
