Teachings From Ancient Vietnamese Zen Masters – 54
21 The Sun
Earth, water, fire, wind, consciousness – those are originally emptiness.
The clouds form and dissolve, but the Bodhi sun shines endlessly.
This worldly body and the sublime nature can be said neither forming
nor dissolving. If you need to distinguish, just see the flower in the
firing kiln.
DAO HUE (? – 1172)
(COMMENT: All things are made from the five elements: Earth, water,
fire, wind, consciousness. They are all emptiness originally. They are
empty, so they can change and transform.)
