we all have the clear bright field

a patched-robe monk

 

Emptiness is without characteristics.

Illumination has no emotional afflictions.

With piercing, quietly profound radiance,

it mysteriously eliminates all disgrace.

Thus one can know oneself; thus

the self is completed.

 

We all have the clear,

wondrously bright field from the beginning.

Many lifetimes of misunderstanding come only from

distrust, hindrance, and screens of confusion that we create

in a scenario of isolation. With boundless wisdom

journey beyond this, forgetting

accomplishments.

 

Straightforwardly abandon stratagems

and take on responsibility. Having turned yourself around,

accepting your situation, if you set foot on the path, spiritual energy

will marvelously transport you. Contact phenomena with

total sincerity, not a single atom of dust

outside yourself.

 

Hongzhi Zhenjue

teachings of hongzhi zhenjue

 

who is the buddha now?

illuminate your own buddha nature from within

 

Do you find 

your spiritual practice 

pitiful and wanting? If buddha 

were before you, would you 

be ashamed, afraid, 

shy, small?

 

Wake up! 

The truth too large 

for words is that the buddha 

is closer to you than that: 

you are the buddha

now. 

 

This entire world is

just for you. All the teaching in this

world is only for you. Accept this without 

further thought of whether you are good or bad

and be responsible to it. This is the spirit you

must  bring to everything that you do.

Be the buddha now.

the tao doesn’t avoid the world

true mastery

 

Do you think

you can clear your mind

by sitting constantly in silent

meditation? This makes

your mind narrow,

not clear.

 


Integral awareness is

fluid and adaptable, present in all

places and at all times.
 That is

true meditation.


Who can attain

clarity and simplicity by

avoiding the world? The Tao is clear

and simple, and it doesn’t

avoid the world.

 

Why not simply honor

your parents,
 love your children, 
help

your brothers and sisters, 
be faithful to your

friends, 
care for your mate with devotion,
 complete

your work cooperatively and joyfully,
 assume responsibility

for problems,
 practice virtue without first demanding

it of others, 
understand the highest truths yet

retain an ordinary manner?


That would be true clarity,

true simplicity, true

mastery.
