The King of Samadi Sutra:...
"Buddhanature is the inn
ate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss." Karl Brunnholzl
"Seek first to understand, then to be understood." Steven Covey
The King of Samadi Sutra:
Know all things to be like this:
A mirage, a cloud castle,
A dream, an apparition,
Without essence, but with qualities that can be seen,
Know all things to be like this:
As the moon in a bright sky
In some clear lake reflected,
Though to that lake the moon has never moved.
Know al things to be like this:
As an echo that derives
From music, sounds, and weeping,
Yet in that echo there is no melody.
Know all things to be like this:
As a magician makes allusions
Of horses, oxen, carts, and other things,
Nothing is as it appears.

Extract from The Diamond Sutra:
So you should see this fleeting world
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream,
A flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom and a dream.
