- The sutra
- Seigen said:
- If now you comprehend it, where is that which you did not comprehend before? What you were deluded about before is what you are now enlightened about, and what you are now enlightened about, is what you were deluded about before.
- There are only two diseases: one is riding an ass to search for the ass; the other is riding an ass and being unwilling to dismount. You say that riding an ass to search for the ass is silly, and that he who does it should be punished. This is a very serious disease. But I tell you, do not search for the ass at all. The intelligent man, understanding my meaning, stops his error of searching for the ass, and thus the deluded state of his mind ceases to exist.
- But if, having found the ass one is unwilling to dismount, this disease is most difficult to cure. 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 ride, you cannot cure your disease. But if you do not ride, the universe in all directions becomes one wide expanse. With these two diseases expelled, nothing remains to affect your mind. This is spiritual cultivation. You need do nothing more.
- Question 1
- Our Beloved Master, none of the masters whose sermons we have been hearing are a patch on you. It's not just that you are as great as one would expect this far down the line; and I'm sure it's not just because you are my master: you are a quantum leap away from any master who has ever been. It seems no fluke that one such as you has come when the world is in about as sticky a mess as can be imagined.
- Beloved master, just exactly who are you?
