- Since the mind is Buddha has always been, should be exercised or not the six transcendence and the infinity of practices? - In mind that enforcement takes place. Nothing to do with the six transcendence and infinity practices! Transcendence and practices are only conversion techniques, stories of secondary importance made to accommodate and to save lives. Similarly, the true mortality of wakefulness, body absolute freedom at the height of the real, the extraordinary levels of ten land and four fruits, all that, they are nothing more than hello techniques unrelated with the Buddha-mind (1). Since the mind is Buddha, Buddha-mind is the most prominent techniques hello. But when you do not mind concerned samsara and passions, we do not need methods of enlightenment. "The Buddha taught all the methods that allow us to get rid of all our thoughts. However, I have no idea. What will I use these methods (2)? "
From Buddha to the Patriarch, was there any question of anything other than a spirit, also called" single vehicle (3). Rummage meticulously all spaces You will not find no other vehicle.
"This thicket has branches or leaves, it overflows
Only Reality (4 )"...
But now that makes it even more amazing! When Bodhidharma arrived
in our country, he traveled the empires of Liang and Wei, but he only met the Grand Master Hui-k'o for secretly faith in his own mind and understand that the word "mind is the Buddha (5). However, there is neither body nor mind: that is the supreme Way. Historically, the supreme Way is equal, and one who has deep faith in the fact that "all living things have a single true nature (6)", this one has a vague spirit of this nature (7) This is nature's mind, spirit or different from any of this kind, it is called "Patriarch (8)" and he can say:
"When I recognized the nature of my mind,
It was strictly unimaginable (9).

Notes (1) "What meant by the term "Buddha-mind"? - "
" True mortality is the name of the spirit when he has no particular aspect, "Nature of Things" (Being) which is in the spirit never changes, "freedom" means mind without the slightest constraint, "Awakening," his unblockable liberty and "nirvana", his absolute peace. "Treatise on both access and four practices, in Iriya, p. 99.
(2) These words of Hui -neng are listed in the "Preface-General of the Collection of comments on the sources of Chan (Ch'an-yuan chu-ki tou k'iuan Hsu) of Tsung-mi.
(3) The "one vehicle" is the method of the Lotus, as laid out in the chapter "expedients." "What is the single vehicle?" deùande Hui-kuang the layman to master Ta-chao. "The Spirit." "How so?" "See that the mind is empty, that nothing exists, the unique vehicle. "He who sees clearly that the mind is empty, that nothing exists and is unique in the vehicle, is it holy?" "Yes!"

(7) The Ch'an is to "show the human mind directly and see his nature to become Buddha", hence the equivalence of the spirit and the essential nature of everything. If the spirit is the same type-the impermanence, the nature (essence) is just the opposite. How, then, Can there be equity? See the mind "is to merge its substance through his expressions (the function of the" mortality ") to its essence silent and calm, Buddhahood.
(8) The Patriarch embodies the integration of total experience in the temporal order. It is an initiator, a hierophant, a "spiritual master": "spirit, mind, spirit, let it be hard to find! Dilated, it fills the universe contracted, it is smaller a needle point. Evil does not inspire him with disgust and not much desire; AIPR crazy and he is wise, dropping his mistake, he wakes up. Having traveled the Great Way beyond any measure, he entered the Buddhist mind beyond any level. It spawns more with the humble Saints or stroke, and his transcendence he is called "Patriarch".
