Seek Within a Moment of Awareness
If you want to be no different from the buddhas
And Zen masters, just don’t seek externally.
The pure light in a moment of awareness
In your mind is the Buddha’s essence within you.
The nondiscriminating light in a moment of awareness
In your mind is the Buddha’s wisdom within you.
The undifferentiated light in a moment of awareness
In your mind is the Buddha’s manifestation within you.
Linji (d.-867)
