The true person is

Not anyone in particular

But Like the limitless deep blue sky,

It is everywhere, and everyone in the world

Two-thirds of our days are already over,

Yet we have not practiced clarifying who we are. We waste our days in chasing satisfaction,

So that even when called, we refuse to turn around. How regrettable.

- from Soeishu by Xeudou Chonxian (Seccho Juken)

All the objects of the senses interact and yet do not.

Interacting brings involvement; otherwise, each keeps its place.

-Sekito Kisen, “Sandokai”
