If people desire to know the Buddha
若人欲识佛境界
终日逐波流,还道去寻水
心佛与众生,差别在那里
day long chasing the flowing waves
return to the way and look for the water
the mind Buddha and sentient beings
what differences are they ?
………
Let your mind be completely without obstruction.
非形亦非影,挂碍怎么生
达摩因此义,故为可安心
No form, so also no shadow
How do worries get a life?
This is the meaning of Bodhidharma.
‘Thus the mind can be at ease’
…..
Note; Bodhidharma was the 1st Patriach of the Chan School.
His teaching was like this, simple & direct.
