    sometimes
    you walk along the stream
    alone, with a crowd of
    gibbons and birds.

        A monk asked Chia-shan: “What if one sweeps away the dust and sees the Buddha?”

        The Master replied: “You must brandish your sword!”

          To take for permanent that which is only transitory is the delusion of a madman.

            Although the wind
            blows terribly here,
            the moonlight also leaks
            between the roof planks
            of this ruined house.

              What the poet is
              looking for is not
              the fundamental I
              but the deep you.

                  My bed is small, but I rest at ease,
                  My clothes are thin, but my body
                  is warm,
                  My food is scarce, but I am nourished.

                    Yüeh-shan promised to give his monks a dharma talk. Instead he sat deep in zazen. Afterward, the head monk followed him back to his room and angrily said: “You promised to give a dharma talk. But you didn’t say a word.”

                    Yüeh-shan said: “For sutras there are sutra specialists. For commentaries there are commentary specialists. What do you expect from this old monk?”

                      I saw my Lord with the eye of the Heart. I said: “Who are you?”

                      He answered: “You.”

                          “Where have you come from?” Henry Suso asked.

                          “From nowhere.”

                          “What are you?”

                          “I am not.”

                          “What do you wish for?”

                          “Nothing.”

                          “This is a miracle,” Suso exclaimed. “What is your name?”

                          “I am called Nameless Wildness and my insight leads to that untrammeled freedom when a man lives according to all his caprices without distinguishing between God and himself.”

                            The only thing that we can know is that we know nothing and that is the highest flight of human reason.

                                When we look back on this life, we see that when people are born, no one has thoughts of joy, sadness, hatred, bitterness. Are we not born with the state of Buddha mind, given by our parents? But once intelligence develops, we learn habits from others, and our own personal mental habits emerge, and the Buddha mind is turned into a monster because of self-importance. We argue, lose our temper, muse over useless things, repeat the same thoughts again and again....It is darkness to darkness in an endless cycle.
