Quotes by Hongzhi Zhengjue (?)

“Sing before the spirits and dance with the earth deities
And you will be able to compose your own tune.
Then you and I, united, will clap hands joyously,
Singing 'tum-tiddly-um tum-tiddly-um-tum.”
― Hongzhi Zhengjue

“In wonder return to the journey, avail yourself of the path and walk ahead. In light there is darkness; where it operates no traces remain. With the hundred grass tips in the busy marketplace graciously share yourself. Wide open and accessible, walking along, casually mount the sounds and straddle the colors while you transcend listening and surpass watching. Perfectly unifying in this manner is simply a patch-robed monk's appropriate activity.”
― Zhengjue, Cultivating the Empty Field: The Silent Illumination of Zen Master Hongzhi

“Withdraw now from
The invisible pounding and weaving
Of your ingrained ideas.
If you want to be rid of this
Invisible turmoil, you must just sit
Through it and let go of everything.
Attain fulfillment and illuminate thoroughly.
Light and shadow altogether forgotten.
Drop off your own skin,
And the sense-dusts will be fully purified.
The eye then readily discerns the brightness.”
― Hongzhi Zhengjue
