Excerpts from Master

s saying on the Buddhist dharma11

63.
The Buddha is not far away from you,
If you miss the Buddha in the presence of a Buddha,
And hold on to the delusions of me and my,
You will be departed from the path forever.

64.

A pure and clean state of dharma patience in enlightenment,

Rescuing all beings with a mind realizing no being arises
independently
A state of the very original nature, not ever changing or moving
No real existence of things or beings.

65.

As high as ten inches a path may be,

The devil is as high as ten feet.
The root of managing your mind
Is the understanding of nothing arises independently
When you hold on to the delusions of me and my,
The devil has accessed you.
When you obtain wisdom and enlightened mind,
You will have awareness and your world is bright.

66.

Title: Happy Human World

Being a human in the world;
It is essential to keep being a human in the coming life.
To practice for clean karma in your body, speech, and thought,
To keep away from bad and evil deeds and do good things
To vow to learn from the bodhisattva, the enlightened one,
And construct a happy world.

67.

Almsgiving is free from being attacked by jealousy;

Almsgiving brings delighted mind;
Almsgiving results in peace;
Almsgiving is the cause of blessing.

But determined to do what I should do.

Title: choice in twelve cases

Choose the lesser from two bad things,
Choose the righteousness from two benets,
Choose the wise from two brave actions,
Choose the sincere from two right things.
Choose the loyal from two excellent ones
Choose the constant one from two loyal people,
Choose the dutiful one from two sons,
Choose the docile one from two pupils,
Choose the humble one from two wise men,
Choose the unwavering one from two sincere ones,
Choose the useful one from two things,
Choose the middle one from two divergences.

Gaining could be a start of losing;

Success could be a start of failure.
Therefore one should bear a mind of no gain or loss, and no
success or failure,
When one cultivates oneself in dharma practice.

Diamond Sutra ---- A New Translation (http://www.diamond-sutra.com/

index.html )15

Chapter 7.
Then Buddha asked Subhuti, "What do you think, Subhuti, has the Buddha
arrived at the highest, most fullled, most awakened and enlightened mind? Does
the Buddha teach any teaching?"
Subhuti replied, "As far as I have understood the lord Buddha's teachings, there
is no independently existing object of mind(1) called the highest, most fullled,
awakened or enlightened mind. Nor is there any independently existing teaching
that the Buddha teaches. Why? Because the teachings that the Buddha has
realized and spoken of cannot be conceived of as separate, independent things(1)
and therefore cannot be described. The truth in them is uncontainable and
inexpressible. It neither is, nor is it not. What does this mean? What this means is
that Buddhas and disciples are not enlightened by a set method of teachings(2),
but by an internally intuitive process which is spontaneous and is part of their own
inner nature(2)."

114

Chapter 8.
"Let me ask you Subhuti! If a person lled over ten thousand galaxies with the
seven treasures for the purpose of compassion, charity, and giving alms, would this
person not gain great merit and spread much happiness?"
"Yes, Most Honored One. This person would gain great merit and spread much
happiness, even though, in truth, this person does not have a separate existence
to which merit could accrue(3). Why? Because this person's merit is characterized
with the quality of not being merit(3)."
The Buddha continued, "Then suppose another person understood only four lines
of this Sutra, but nevertheless took it upon themselves to explain these lines to
someone else. This person's merit would be even greater than the other person's.
Why? Because all Buddhas and all the teachings and values of the highest, most
fullled, most awakened minds arise from the teachings in this Sutra(4). And yet,
even as I speak, Subhuti, I must take back my words as soon as they are uttered,
for there are no Buddhas and there are no teachings(4)."

115

34

Chapter 9.
Buddha then asked, "What do you think, Subhuti, does one who has entered the
stream which ows to Enlightenment, say 'I have entered the stream'?"
"No, Buddha", Subhuti replied. "A true disciple entering the stream would not
think of themselves as a separate person that could be entering anything(5). Only
that disciple who does not differentiate themselves from others who has no regard
for name, shape, sound, odor, taste, touch or for any quality can truly be called a
disciple who has entered the stream."
Buddha continued, "Does a disciple who is subject to only one more rebirth say to
himself, 'I am entitled to the honors and rewards of a Once-to-be-reborn.'?"
"No, Lord. 'Once-to-be-reborn' is only a name. There is no passing away, or
coming into, existence(5). Only one who realizes this can really be called a
disciple."
"Subhuti, does a venerable One who will never more be reborn as a mortal say to
himself, 'I am entitled to the honor and rewards of a Non-returner.'?"
"No, Perfectly Enlightened One. A 'Non-returner' is merely a name. There is
actually no one returning and no one not-returning(5)."
"Tell me, Subhuti. Does a Buddha say to himself, 'I have obtained Perfect
Enlightenment.'?"
"No, lord. There is no such thing as Perfect Enlightenment to obtain. If a
Perfectly Enlightened Buddha were to say to himself, 'I am enlightened' he would
be admitting there is an individual person, a separate self and personality, and
would therefore not be a Perfectly Enlightened Buddha(6)."
Subhuti then said, "Most Honored One! You have said that I, Subhuti, excel
amongst thy disciples in knowing the bliss of Enlightenment, in being perfectly
content in seclusion, and in being free from all passions. Yet I do not say to myself
that I am so, for if I ever thought of myself as such then it would not be true that
I escaped ego delusion(6). I know that in truth there is no Subhuti and therefore
Subhuti abides nowhere, that he neither knows nor does he not know bliss, and
that he is neither free from nor enslaved by his passions."
