"The Buddha Dharma is nowhere remote.
It is close to us, in our hearts.
Suchness is nowhere external.
If not within our bodies, where can it be found?"
- Kukai, Secret Key to the Heart Sutra

"Work out your own
salvation diligently!"

 
Avoid evil, undertake good, purify the mind: this is the teaching of the Buddhas
 
 
     

     

When Huineng went to South China, he heard two monks arguing. One said the flag is moving. The other said the wind is moving, not the flag. Passing by, Huineng observed, it's your minds that are moving. This may seem laughable. But consider the "stationary" image above and you may get Huineng's meaning.
