Heart Of The Buddha
No need to chase back and forth like the waves.
The same water which ebbs is the same water that flows.
No point turning back to get water
When it's flowing around you in all directions
The heart of the Buddha and the people of the world...
Where is there any difference?
We ought not rest on our laurels, supposing that when we act we express the Buddha Nature individually. Rather, we should learn to transcend our own Ego. In doing so, we discover that the Buddha Nature is expressed in everything, the same.
Y.C. Shakya
