Niu-t’ou Hui-chung (683-769)
It has been asked,
“How should those who enter the
path apply their minds?”
All things are originally uncreated
And presently undying.Just let your mind be free;
You don’t have to restrain it.
See directly and hear directly;
Come directly and go directly.
When you must go,
Then go.When you must stay,
Then stay.
This is the true path.
A scripture says, “Conditional
existence is the site of enlightenment,
insofar as you know it as it really is.
