The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch Quotes

“Know your mind and see your nature.”
― Red Pine, The Platform Sutra: The Zen Teaching of Hui-neng

“Just be true, and there are no barriers.”
― Hui-Neng, The Sutra of Hui-neng, Grand Master of Zen: With Hui-neng's Commentary on the Diamond Sutra

“The Master said, “Fa-ta, when your mind practices, it reads the Lotus. When it doesn’t practice, the Lotus does the reading. When your mind is true, it reads the Lotus. When your mind is false, the Lotus does the reading. When you develop the understanding of a buddha, you read the Lotus. When you develop the understanding of an ordinary being, the Lotus reads you.”
