景德傳燈錄 29.9

29.9

Laughed at, sentient beings are stupid and muddled, / Each clinging to their own differing views. / They only want to beg for cakes beside the stove, / Not understanding to return to the source and see the flour. / Flour is the root of both orthodox and heterodox; / Formed by human hands, it undergoes a hundred transformations. / Let what is needed be used freely in all directions, / With no need for partial indulgence or clinging love. / Non-attachment is itself liberation; / Having desires, one is again caught in nets and snares. / With a compassionate mind all is equal; / Truth is directly Bodhi appearing of itself. / If one harbors dualistic thoughts of self and other, / Face to face, one does not see the Buddha's face.
