Buddha teaching

To the ordinary man, even Buddha is ordinary. But to a Buddha, everyone is a Buddha.

Since in reality all is void,
Whereon can the dust fall?

You do not have to abandon worldly activities in order to attain effortless unconcern. You should know that worldly activities and effortless unconcern are not two different things, but if you keep thinking about rejection and grasping, you make them two.

Here's a #koan ( #公案 ) for you:

Is this the same mirror,
reflecting the same thing?
Reflect on this and
if it's a yes: why it isn't?
if it's a no: why it is?

You should know that so far as #Buddhanature is concerned, there is no difference between an enlightened person and an ignorant one. What makes the difference is that one realizes it and one is ignorant of it.

Currently writing a short story about Huineng's Refuge Rock, where the Sixth Patriarch of Chan (Zen) hid from an angry mob that set fire to the mountain where he fled for safety. I visited in July, 2014, along with several other sites from his life.

#Huineng #Citações

Uma arte de Huineng, um homem oriental de olhos fechados, rosto rígido, porém tranquilo, usa roupa tradicional de monges chineses

"Um dedo aponta para a lua, mas a lua não está na ponta do dedo. As palavras apontam para a verdade, mas a verdade não está nas palavras."

~ Huineng
