Nothing we see or hear is perfect. But right there in the imperfection is perfect reality.

我们所有看到或听到的都不圆满。但是就在这不圆满中是圆满的实相。

Encounter with reality- Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

 

In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
-Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

有了正念,一个人不只会平静和开心,心灵也会明亮和清醒。坐禅不是逃避;它是在宁静中与现实相遇。

The Unlimited depth of reality- Kosho Uchiyama Roshi

  Though poor, never poor

Though sick, never sick
Though aging, never aging
Though dying, never dying
Reality prior to division–
Herein lies unlimited depth
-Koshi Uchiyama Roshi’s Last poem

虽穷不穷,
虽病不病。
虽老不老,
虽死不死。
分别前的现实,
此处无尽深。
内山興正禅师之遗偈
