The Ground Under Your Feet

Text

Dizang said to his assembly: "When you look for Buddha, you push Buddha away. When you look for Dharma, you obscure Dharma. What is left when you stop looking? The ground under your feet. Have you examined this ground? You have been standing on it since before you were born."
