- The sutras
- 1. The Search for the Bull
- In the pasture of this world,
- I endlessly push aside the tall grasses in search of the bull.
- Following unnamed rivers,
- Lost upon the interpenetrating paths of distant mountains,
- My strength failing and my vitality exhausted, I cannot find the bull.
- I only hear the locusts chirring through the forest at night.
- Comment:
- The bull has never been lost. What need is there to search? Only because of separation from my true nature, I fail to find him. In the confusion of the senses I lose even his tracks. Far from home, I see many crossroads, but which way is the right one, I know not. Greed and fear, good and bad, entangle me.
- 2. Discovering the Footprints
- Along the river bank under the trees,
- I discover footprints!
- Even under the fragrant grass I see his prints.
- Deep in remote mountains they are found.
- These traces no more can be hidden than one's nose looking heavenward.
- Comment:
- Understanding the teaching, I see the footprints of the bull. Then I learn that, just as many utensils are made from one metal, so too are myriad entities made of the fabric of self. Unless I discriminate, how will I perceive the true from the untrue? Not yet having entered the gate, nevertheless I have discerned the path.
