Does A Dragon Still Sing

Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Grasp Onto The Physical Forms We See. Since We Are Provided With Both A Body And A Mind, We Cling To The Sounds We Hear. As A Consequence, We Make Ourselves Inseparable From All Things, Yet We Are Not Like Some Shadowy Figure 'lodging' In A Mirror Or Like The Moon In Water. Whenever We Witness What Is On The One Side, Its Opposite Side Will Be In Darkness.

Do Not Travel To Other Dusty Lands, Forsaking Your Own Sitting Place; If You Cannot Find The Truth Where You Are Now, You Will Never Find It.

Mountains And Rivers At This Very Moment Are The Actualization Of The World Of The Ancient Buddhas. Each, Abiding In Its Phenomenal Expression, Realizes Completeness.

Do Not Doubt That Mountains Walk Simply Because They May Not Appear To Walk Like Humans.

A Zen Master's Life Is One Continuous Mistake.
