Tag: Hsuan Chueh of Yung Chia / Yoka Genkaku

Mind is the base, phenomena are dust;
Yet both are like a flaw in the mirror.
When the flaw is brushed aside,
The light begins to shine.

The truth is not set forth;
The false is basically vacant.
Put both existence and non-existence aside,
Then even non-vacancy is vacant,
The twenty kinds of vacancy have no basis,

Transience, emptiness and enlightenment —
These are the ultimate truths of Buddhism;
Keeping and teaching them is true Sangha devotion.
If you don’t agree, please ask me about it.
