When You Paint Spring, Do Not Paint

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.

Students, When You Want To Say Something, Think About It Three Times Before You Say It. Speak Only If Your Words Will Benefit Yourselves And Others. Do Not Speak If It Brings No Benefit.

To Start From The Self And Try To Understand All Things Is Delusion. To Let The Self Be Awakened By All Things Is Enlightenment.

Students Today Should Live Fully Every Moment Of Time. This Dew-like Life Fades Away; Time Speeds Swiftly. In This Short Life Of Ours, Avoid Involvement In Superfluous Things And Just Study The Way.

To Study The Buddha Way Is To Study The Self. To Study The Self Is To Forget The Self. To Forget The Self Is To Be Actualized By Myriad Things. When Actualized By Myriad Things, Your Body And Mind As Well As The Bodies And Minds Of Others Drop Away. No Trace Of Realization Remains, And This No Trace Continues Endlessly.
