Niu-t’ou Hui-chung (683-769)
“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.”
