as soon as you want to understand it

they say there is a pure land

 

Whatever you are doing,

twenty-four hours a day, in all your

various activities, there is something that transcends

the Buddhas and Zen Masters; but as soon

as you want to understand it,

it’s not there.
 

As soon as you try

to gather your attention on it,

you have already turned away from it.

That is why I say you see but cannot

do anything about it.
