Text

Have you not seen? The person of the Way who has gone beyond learning, who does not strive, who does not contrive? Neither rejecting thought nor seeking truth, the real nature of ignorance is Buddha-nature itself; this empty, illusory, changeable body is nothing other than the Dharma body. In walking, just walk. In sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.
