In A Snowfall That Covers The Winter

When One First Seeks The Truth, One Separates Oneself From It.

Those Who See Worldly Life As An Obstacle To Dharma See No Dharma In Everyday Actions. They Have Not Yet Discovered That There Are No Everyday Actions Outside Of Dharma.

To Study The Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Enlightened By All Things Of The Universe. To Be Enlightened By All Things Of The Universe Is To Cast Off The Body And Mind Of The Self As Well As Those Of Others. Even The Traces Of Enlightenment Are Wiped Out, And Life With Traceless Enlightenment Goes On Forever And Ever

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.

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.
