Everyone Instantly Becomes a Buddha

Many Chan practitioners ask questions about the Dharma. The Dharma that is spoken is originally not the true Dharma. As soon as you try to explain things, the true meaning is lost. If you realize that this Mind is originally the Buddha, then at that very instant there is nothing more to do.

No matter who the teacher is we need to have a balance between what they say that is clearly delivered and what can tend to cloud things over a bit.  To ascribe anything to nirvana is saying too much as it falls into “as soon as you try to explain things, the true meaning is lost.”
