From the Song of Enlightment

[Mornings Sun]

The mind is a sense organ; dharmas are its object.
The two are like spots on a mirror.
Once the dust is rubbed off, the light begins to appear.
When both mind and dharmas are forgotten, this is the true nature

[Mornings Sun]

Walking is chan.
Speaking or silent, moving or stil, the essence is undisturbed.
Remain composed even if facing a sharp weapon.
Be at ease even if given poison.

[Mornings Sun]

One nature perfectly pervades all Natures;
One Dharma includes all Dharmas
One Moon appears in all waters
The Moon reflected in all water are One

[Gonzo]

The mind is a sense organ; dharmas are its object.
The two are like spots on a mirror.
Once the dust is rubbed off, the light begins to appear.
When both mind and dharmas are forgotten, this is the true nature

Here's a variation on that...same words, slightly different translation

Mind is the faculty, things are the objects;
Both are like flaws on a mirror.
When the defilement of objects is obliterated, the light first appears.
When mind and things are both forgotten, nature is real.

[Mornings Sun]

Thats a good one Gonz
Makes it point to a mundane level. Just being in the present.
You communicate to a broader group with it Gonz

It make me reflect on what dharmas are. It the body of knowledge both in form and no-form.
Letting go of that leaves you free and feeling stupid - as you hold on to no-knowledge.
Ahh to be a contend fool in the present moment

[Gonzo]

Well, you nailed it...I think that's why I like the translation I have of The Blue Cliff Record, because it does bring it to a mundane, every-day level.

To clear the filter
where bullshit becomes the truth
the lie is broken
