"A special transmission outside the sutras, no dependence upon words and letters, direct pointing to reality, seeing into one's own nature and realizing Buddhahood." -- Bodhidharma, founder of the Zen lineage."Your search among books, sifting and shuffling through other people's words, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it cannot help you to see the reflection of your true Self. When you have thrown away all your conceptions of mind and body, the original person will appear." -- Dogen, founder of the Soto Zen lineage in Japan.
