zen

From birth to death it's just like this.

Do not just memorize sayings, recite words, and discuss Zen
and the way based on books.The Zen way is not in books.

Even if you can recite the teachings of the whole canon and
all the masters and philosophers, they are just useless words
of no avail when you are facing death.

"Now it's dark..."

"I'll fuck anything that moves!"

"Don't toast to my health, toast to my fuck!"

"But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind." - Bodhidharma

To see what isn't true is easy. But to see what is true will take some doing.

I had a discussion with a great master in Japan... and we were talking about the various people who are working to translate the Zen books into English, and he said, "That's a waste of time. If you really understand Zen... you can use any book. You could use the Bible. You could use Alice in Wonderland. You could use the dictionary, because... the sound of the rain needs no translation."

Open your mouth and you're wrong.

Not two.
Not two.
Just think not two.
