Sayings of Huizhong, Third Excerpt: How to Become a Buddha

The Chan Teachings of Nanyang Huizhong in Tangut Translation

Translated by Kirill Solonin

Someone asked: "How to become a Buddha?"

The Master said: "[If] for one moment you will not think about the sentient beings and the Buddha, at this very spot you attain the liberation. That is how [you] attain liberation."

Another question: "How to get harmony?"

The Master said: "Do not think of all good and evil, and see Buddha nature for yourself. That is harmony."
