Daily Zen Quote - October 1, 2013

There are only two diseases: one is riding an ass to search for an ass. The other is riding the ass and being unwilling to dismount...I say to you: do not ride the ass at all. You yourself are the ass. Mountains, rivers, and plains are all the ass. Why do you ride on it? If you do not ride, the universe in all directions becomes one wide expanse. With these diseases expelled, nothing remains to affect your mind. You need do nothing more.

~Ch-ing-Yuan
