You needn’t seek wonders
Thursday, June 21st, 2007From today’s Daily Zen:
People who study Buddhism
Should seek real, true perception
And understanding for now.
If you attain real, true perception
And understanding,
Birth and death don’t affect you;
You are free to go or stay.
You needn’t seek wonders,
For wonders come of themselves.- Linji (d. 867)
As a side note, I was going to let this domain expire just because I hadn’t been writing here much and I don’t think there’s anyone reading. But I’m going to give it another year. Maybe I’ll write some more, maybe I won’t. Maybe people will read it, maybe they won’t. I’m not seeking wonders, for wonders come of themselves.
Like how I tied that back in?
