What you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good.

Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken. Take heed, do not squander your life.

Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we grasp onto the physical forms we see. Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we cling to the sounds we hear. As a consequence, we make ourselves inseparable from all things, yet we are not like some shadowy figure 'lodging' in a mirror or like the moon in water. Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.

Coming, going, the waterbirds, don't leave a trace, don't follow a path.

There is no beginning to practice nor end to enlightenment; There is no beginning to enlightenment nor end to practice.

Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.

Practice and enlightenment are not two.
