If someone asks about the mind of this monk, say it is no more than a passage of wind in the vast sky. - Ryōkan

When you encounter those who are wicked, unrighteous, foolish, dim-witted, deformed, vicious, chronically ill, lonely, unfortunate, or disabled, you should think: “How can I save them?” And even if there is nothing you can do, at least you must not indulge in feelings of arrogance, superiority, derision, scorn, or abhorrence, but should immediately manifest sympathy and compassion. If you fail to do so, you should feel ashamed and deeply reproach yourself: “How far I have strayed from the Way! How can I betray the old sages? I take these words as an admonition to myself.”

Why do you so earnestly seek the truth in distant places? Look for delusion and truth in the bottom of your own hearts.

You must rise above The gloomy clouds Covering the mountaintop Otherwise, how will you Ever see the brightness?
