A Zen Master's Life Is

Consider That Nirvana Is Itself No Other Than Our Life.

Mountains And Oceans Have Whole Worlds Of Innumerable Wondrous Features. We Should Understand That It Is Not Only Our Distant Surroundings That Are Like This, But Even What Is Right Here, Even A Single Drop Of Water.

Since It Is The Practice Of Enlightenment, That Practice Has No Beginning And Since It Is Enlightenment Within The Practice, That Realization Has No End.

Truth Is Not Far Away. It Is Nearer Than Near. There Is No Need To Attain It, Since Not One Of Your Steps Leads Away From It.

Do Not Miss The Opportunity Of Offering Even A Single Drop Into The Ocean Of Merit Or A Grain Atop The Mountain Of The Roots Of Beneficial Activity.
