When hate and
love don’t block the mind,
stretch out both legs and
then lie down.
If you hope and intend
to transform others, you must perfect
expedient means. Don’t cause them to have
doubts, and then their self-nature
will appear.
The Buddhadharma is
here in the world; enlightenment is
not apart from the world. To search for Bodhi
apart from the world is like looking for
a hare with horns.
Right views are
transcendental; deviant views
are all mundane. Deviant and right
completely destroyed: the
Bodhi nature appears
spontaneously.
This verse is
the Sudden Teaching, also called
the great dharma boat. Hear in confusion,
pass through ages, in an instant’s
space, enlightenment.
