Bankei Yotaku Quotes

• Don't hate the arising of thoughts or stop the thoughts that do arise. Simply realize that our original mind, right from the start, is beyond thought, so that no matter what, you never get involved with thoughts. Illuminate original mind, and no other understanding is necessary.

• An enlightened awareness is within each one of us, right at this moment.
  This enlightened awareness is truly unborn and marvellously illuminating; and everything is perfectly managed by it.
  Conclusively realise that what is unborn and illuminating is truly awakened and without effort,
  rest naturally as the Unborn Mind.
  Resting in this way, you are a living Buddha.
