To Escape From The World

What You Think In Your Own Mind To Be Good, Or What People Of The World Think Is Good, Is Not Necessarily Good.

There Are Mountains Hidden In Mountains. There Are Mountains Hidden In Hiddenness. This Is Complete Understanding.

One Must Be Deeply Aware Of The Impermanence Of The World.

When You Paint Spring, Do Not Paint Willows, Plums, Peaches, Or Apricots - Just Paint Spring.

The Zazen I Speak Of Is Not Learning Meditation. It Is Simply The Dharma Gate Of Repose And Bliss, The Practice-realization Of Totally Culminated Enlightenment. It Is The Manifestation Of Ultimate Reality. Traps And Snares Can Never Reach It. Once Its Heart Is Grasped, You Are Like The Dragon When He Gains The Water, Like The Tiger When She Enters The Mountain. For You Must Know That Just There (in Zazen) The Right Dharma Is Manifesting Itself And That, From The First, Dullness And Distraction Are Struck Aside.
