Preface

The Map to Nowhere

～  Chan Practice Guide to Mind Cultivation.

The map of treasures…

What treasure? – The treasure of immaculate self.

Due to accumulated dust,

The treasure has been covered deep…

.

The map for treasure seekers,

Searching for the pure gem.

Guided by pictures and words, looking not out there

– Mind is the original nature.

.

Buddha-nature is originally empty,

Lying where mind ends and words stop.

From such a place words are used,

The map of treasure hunting is thus drawn.

.

Both treasure and the map,

Serve as expedient means to deliver beings.

When you see and attain true emptiness,

The treasure is nowhere but now here..
