Using the whole to see the principles, you may understand the way. We must spread Chan like rays of sun all over the world. All the branches of Buddhism celebrate the same root. Clarity and stillness are deep as the sea. When you abandon attachments, your true face emerges. Only virtue is never ending, Your pure heart never changes. When your heart is still, its brightness will dispel the darkness. Your true natures is the highest. If you are loyal, upright and kind, you will receive happiness and peace. Always remember your Buddha heart. Following the spirit of Huike, This is the way to Buddhahood.
