佛道をならふといふは、自己をならふ也。自己をならふといふは、自己をわするるなり。自己をわするるといふは、萬法に證せらるるなり。萬法に證せらるるといふは、自己の身心および他己の身心をして落せしむるなり。悟迹の休歇なるあり、休歇なる悟迹を長長出ならしむ。
To study the Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things of the universe. To be enlightened by all things of the universe is to cast off the body and mind of the self as well as those of others. Even the traces of enlightenment are wiped out, and life with traceless enlightenment goes on forever and ever.
I just read this yesterday :) thanks for sharing it and the original. How do you think compassion applies to this quote
The first thing that comes to my mind is that when you don’t see a difference between yourself and the others, you live for the benefits of everyone, there isn’t your own happiness or wealth
That’s my understanding as well! :) I feel reasons for compassion aren’t discussed enough
