see truth face to face

Published at: 08:12 pm - Monday December 08 2008

Do not accept anything simply
Because it has been said
By your teacher,
Or because it has been written
In your sacred book,
Or because it has been
Believed by many,
Or because it has been
Handed down by your
Ancestors.
Accept and live only
According to what will enable
You to see truth face to face.
~ Buddha

boundless mind

Published at: 02:12 pm - Monday December 01 2008

You do not need to contemplate
your action and to purify your mind.
Let your mind be boundless
and without any obstruction.
~ Fa-yung (593-657)
