There Are Myriads Of Forms And Hundreds

Just As Parents Care For Their Children, You Should Bear In Mind The Whole Universe.

Life And Death Are Nothing But The Mind. Years, Months, Days, And Hours Are Nothing But The Mind. Dreams, Illusions, And Mirages Are Nothing But The Mind. The Bubbles Of Water And The Flames Of Fire Are Nothing But The Mind. The Flowers Of The Spring And The Moon Of The Autumn Are Nothing But The Mind. Confusions And Dangers Are Nothing But The Mind.

There Are Myriads Of Forms And Hundreds Of Grasses Throughout The Entire Earth, Yet Each Grass And Each Form Itself Is The Entire Earth.

When A Buddha Is Painted, Not Only A Clay Altar Or Lump Of Earth Is Used, But The Thirty-two Marks, A Blade Of Grass, And The Cultivation Of Wisdom For Incalculable Eons Are Used. As A Buddha Has Been Painted On A Single Scroll In This Way, All Buddhas Are Painted Buddhas, And All Painted Buddhas Are Actual Buddhas.

What Is The Way Of The Buddha? It Is To Study The Self. What Is The Study Of The Self? It Is To Forget Oneself. To Forget Oneself Is To Enlightened By Everything In The World.
