I want to share 2 #zenquotes from the 6th Patriarch Huineng. They can be found in his commentary on the #DiamondSutra.

First. In the preface.

"This one scroll sutra originally exists in the essential nature of all beings. People who do not see it themselves just read and recite written letters. If you realize your original mind, you will realize for the first time that this sutra is not in written letters."

This idea felt so beautiful, poetic, but also very true.
