The master addressed the assembly, saying, “You who today study the Way must have faith in yourselves. Don’t seek outside or you’ll just go on clambering after the realm of worthless dusts, never distinguishing true from false. [Notions] like ‘There are buddhas, there are patriarchs’ are no more than matters in the teachings. When someone brings forward a phrase or comes forth from the hidden and the revealed, you are at once beset by doubt. You appeal to heaven, appeal to earth, run to question your neighbors, and are utterly perplexed. Resolute men, don’t pass your days in idle chatter this way, talking of rulers and talking of outlaws, discussing right and discussing wrong, speaking of women and speaking of money. “As for me, whoever comes here, whether monk or layman, I discern him through and through. Regardless of where he comes from, his words and phrases are all just dreams and illusions. On the other hand, it’s obvious that one in control of every circumstance [embodies] the mysterious principle of all the buddhas. Th e state of buddhahood does not of itself proclaim, 'I am the state of buddhahood!’ Rather, this very man of the Way, dependent upon nothing, comes forth in control of every circumstance.
Come forth in control of every circumstance boiz&girlz
