Morning #Meditation: Leave knowing and understandings, go to that greatness of space. When you come to that vastness, there's no speck of #Buddhism in your heart.
[Zen Master #Bukko, from Old #Zen Master]

At the beginning you have to take up a koan, Zen master Bukko.

The emptiness of the sea lets waves rise, the emptiness of the mountain valley makes the voice echo, the emptiness of the heart makes the Buddha.
