i posted this today...you might like
Sutra of Bequeathed Teachings, the rise and fall of phenomena.......
If you gather your mind in samadhi
You will understand the process
By which phenomena rise and fall.
- Sutra of Bequeathed Teachings If you want to go to the pure land,
Then purify your mind.
When your mind is pure,
Then whatever you see will be pure
Two methods enable us to rectify the heart:
The first is study,
Enriching our mind through practice
And discipline; training, studying
Until an inner light begins to grow within.
This seed of consiousness,
The sages teach, should be nourished
And kept in silence.
The second is the cultivation of virtue.
A sincere student discovers the
Workings of Tao by overcoming all
Manner of temptation. Seeing into Nothingness
This is the true seeing,
The eternal seeing
- Shen-hui (8th cent
Hordes of riches are outweighed in
