- Master JiGong dictates a poem,
- ‘Hard to fill is the sea of desires
- While its bitterness is boundless
- Its short-lived pleasures are followed by
sadness
- Wind drifts and clouds disperse
- Likewise are the prosperity and decline of
affairs
- Sufferings and happiness not equally
shared
- Anger and folly are thus flared
- Although having one’s striking writings
- Compiled and annotated
- It is not as good as being wordless
- And save a dot of trueness
- The lost ones have thousand hills
- And ten thousand waters to give them
barriers
- The realized ones turn their heads
- And find their homes.’
- What is wordless?
- What is a dot of trueness?
- And where is home?
- Wordless is the ‘Five-word mantra’
- Dot of trueness is our divine eye
- Home is the highest Heaven
- The dot of trueness is where the soul resides
- It is a micro-space or hole within which
- One’s inner being or spiritual body lives
- Also known as the right door
- Mystical door or Door of the soul
- Going home is the purpose of life
- Every human should strive to go home
- Even you are the great writer of the dharma
- Have million of followers
- It is not as great as the awakening of the divine nature
- It is the sudden realization of true self
- It is only a momentarily point in time
- To attain Buddhahood
- This is also the stanza of Hui Neng
- In the sutra of Maitreya Buddha
- When a person is initiated with the TAO
- It is like the striking of
- Inner cloud and thunder
- It will open in the middle of the void
- And our divine eye will be opened
- Instantly some became vegetarians and headed for home
