they say there is a pure land

eagle house

 

They say there is

a pure land where everything

is only mind, and that there’s a buddha of light

in your own body. Once that buddha of light appears,

mountains, rivers, earth, grass, trees, and forests

suddenly glow with a great light.

 

To see this,

you have to look inside

your own heart. Then what should

you be looking out for? When you are looking

for something that is only mind, what kind of special

features would it have? When you are looking for

the buddha of infinite light in your own body,

how would you recognize it?

 

Inside your own heart.

Trees shine with a great light.

 

Hakuin

bring me the rhinoceros

regard the humble as exalted


 

Act by

not acting,

accomplish by not

straining, understand

by not knowing. Regard the

humble as exalted and the exalted

as humble. Remedy injury

with tranquil

repair.

 

Meet

the difficult while

it is still easy; cross the

universe one step at a time.

Because the sage doesn’t try

anything too big, she’s able

to accomplish big

things.

 

Those

who commit lightly

seldom come through.

Those who think everything

is easy will find everything hard.

The sage understands that

everything is difficult, and

thus in the end has no

difficulties.

no such thing as other

trunk stuff

 

To the

ordinary being,

others often require tolerance.

To the highly evolved being, there is no

such thing as tolerance, because there is no

such thing as other. She has given up all

ideas of individuality and extended

her goodwill without prejudice

in every direction.

the world is a vessel for spirit

snow crows

 

If you try

to grab hold of the

world and do what you want

with it, you won’t

succeed.

 

The world

is a vessel for spirit,

and it wasn’t made to be manipulated.

Tamper with it and you’ll spoil it.

Hold it, and you’ll

lose it.

 

With tao,

sometimes you move ahead

and sometimes you stay back; sometimes

you work hard and sometimes you rest; sometimes

you’re strong and sometimes you’re weak;

sometimes you’re up; sometimes

you’re down.

 

The sage

remains alert, avoiding

extremes, avoiding extravagance,

avoiding excess.
