A ghost in the mirror is the mind A ghost in the mirror is the mind: Not there, yet not unreal. When the mind is as it is, the world too simply is. Grasping neither reality nor emptiness, you are neither holy nor wise, just an ordinary man done with work. -- P'ang Yun (Layman P'ang)

No-greed surpasses charity by P'ang Yun (Layman P'ang) No-greed surpasses charity. No-delusion surpasses concentration. No-ill will surpasses morality. No-self-centered thinking surpasses cultivating connections. ---- ---- We all ride together in the boat of wisdom.
