Way of Sudden Awakening

The Way of sudden awakening

We must understand that all appearances are not what they appear to be

When one single thought

is in total accord with the Truth, at once, in a flash, you have the Ultimate Wisdom of the Buddha

Only when the Nature of mind is realized,

Can one understand that it is inconceivable. Clearly, nothing can be attained, For if it could be, there would be subject-object consciousness.

Humbly

Dedicated to

The One Mind and all the Buddhas of the past, present and future who “came forth” from it.

The entire lineage of the Ekayana (Supreme Vehicle) Dharma throughout history in whatever country and time they appeared to compassionately Awaken ordinary human beings.

Nippo Syaku.

All the teachers and students of the Way of Sudden Awakening here and now.
