when you search into it

binsar bakkara

 

Whether you are going

or staying or sitting or lying down,

the whole world is your own self.  You must find

out whether the mountains, rivers, grass,

and forests exist in your own mind

or exist outside it. 

 

Analyze the ten thousand things,

dissect them minutely, and when you take this

to the limit  you will come to the limitless, when you search

into it you come to the end of search, where thinking goes

no further and distinctions vanish. When you smash

the citadel of doubt, then the Buddha

is simply yourself.

if you don’t go into the tiger’s lair

zar yar lin

 

The Tao is as deep as can be.


Who is willing to pursue it closely?


If you don’t go into the tiger’s lair,
 how can you

catch its cub? 
If you don’t wash out the stone and sand,


how can you pick out the gold? 
Carefully seek the heart

of heaven and earth
 with firm determination.


Suddenly you will see the original thing;


everywhere you meet the source,

all is a forest of jewels.

sever the attachments of mind and self

this mysterious place

 

To

realize the Way you

must die and stay dead and

go on living. With one mighty blow,

sever the attachments of mind

and self and dwell in

emptiness.

 

Pouring

emptiness into emptiness

like waves coming to shore,

you become quiet,

luminous,

still.

 

Where

before there were

ten thousand entanglements, now

there is undifferentiated

Oneness, clarity,

peace.
