| The
Great Way is not difficult
Just don’t pick and choose.
Cut off all likes or dislikes.
And it is clear like space.
The
slightest distinction
Splits heaven and earth.
To see the truth
Don’t be for or against.
Likes
and dislikes
Are the mind’s disease.
If you miss the deep meaning,
It is useless to still your thoughts.
It
is clear as vast space,
Nothing missing, nothing extra.
If you choose or reject
You cannot see things as they are.
-
Trust in Mind, T'sent Ts'an, Third Patriarch of Zen
