Master Hsu Yuns Chan Teachings

Return to Self-Nature

Go Straight Home:to your own Buddha Nature.

Leave the baggage behind --attachments to all those things we hold onto so dearly.

Find the Way When you meet an obstacle Go on! Don't Linger! Let the mind rest nowhere. Take a breath and move forward, ready for the next one.

Watching your thoughts Sit still. Look inside. Watch what happens . . . Where does the thought begin?

Warning! Heed Master Han Shan's warning. Do not become immersed in stagnant waters! Move forward . . . always!

Enter the Dharmakaya Recognize the constant changing of all things Cultivate indifference - Be unmovable, yet aware, watching things arise and pass . . .

Have FaithBlessings to you on the Path. Discovering the unknown ... Climbing into the cloud of Truth.

TransitionsReaching the top of the hundred-foot pole . . . What will you let go of? Where will you go?

Wisdom The Hua Tao has led here . . . Clear, like the autumn moon reflected in a still pool.

Buddha MindDiscovering Buddha Mind everything is changed.No longer following the stream of birth and death -

There is only Eternity.

Formlessness Abiding in complete detachment. No form. No opinions. No objections. Just peace. Gate, Paragate
