Bankei Yōtaku
The Master of the Unborn Buddha Mind
No practice, no attainment—just the Unborn having a laugh.
You think awakening is something you chase? Climb? Conquer? Ha! I’ve been dead for centuries and still I tell you: it’s already here. Always was. Just stop messing with it. Come sit. Let the mind settle. Don’t worry, I won’t give you koans or beads or chants. Just stop trying to fix what’s not broken. That’s the whole thing.
What I'm Into: a crying child, an arguing couple, the wind in the pines, a thief with muddy feet, the mind before thought
