Zen

Venerable Manora’s Poem (1)

Venerable Manora said, “Mind flows along with all things, and the place where it flows is truly still and calm. If you realise the true-Self by following the flow, there is neither joy nor sorrow.”

Student: “How is it when the place where mind flows is truly still and calm?”

Master: “The broken treasure is spontaneously pieced together to perfection.”

Commentary:

One should be free to disassemble and reassemble the treasure perfectly.
