24th February

I have no secrets to teach you, and if I tried you may well make fun of me. Anyway, how could any understanding that I have become your understanding.
Kuei-shan.

To use the mind to form opinions and judgements about life, and then pass these to others in the guise of teachings is the opposite of Zen.
Life is manifesting all around us in it's purity, without the intervention of mind. To use my mind to interpret this purity is a manifestation of my mind. How could it become your interpretation?
Secterts are a creation of mind. Nature is revealed to us in all its bare glory.
