Your Daily Zen

In view of "the one thing," however, everyone's original nature is already complete, just as it is. Why have we come to depend on others, always wanting to dress up this simple matter with more powder and rouge? Therefore their coming into this world can be viewed in just the same way you would if waves were to somehow arise on a sea without wind. This is the reason why the Maha Sunyata Sutra says, "Words on a page are demon-karma, names and forms are demon karma, and even Buddha's own speech is demon-karma." 


- So Sahn (1520-1604)
