The sutra
Ryusui said:
Emptiness is a name for nothingness, a name for ungraspability, a name for mountains, rivers, the whole earth. It is also called the real form. In the green of the pines, the twist of the brambles, there is no going or coming. In the red of the flowers and the white of the snow, there is no birth and no death.
Joy, anger, love, pleasure -- these are beginningless and endless delusion. Enlightenment, practice, realization -- these are inexhaustible and boundless. Thus, emptiness is the name for nothing else; all things are the real form. In all worlds, in all directions, there is no second, no third.
Therefore, in the fundamental vehicle there is no delusion or enlightenment, no practice or realization. Even to speak of practice and realization is a relative view.
In our school, from the first entry, this point should be practiced whether sitting, lying down, or walking around. When sleeping, just sleeping, there is no past or future. When you awaken, there is no sleep either. This is called the absolute host.


Question 1
Our Beloved Master, can only the eyes of enlightenment see emptiness?
Question 2 from professor Schneider-Wessling
Why did the mind develop in a destructive direction?
