Entering the Hall to Speak Dharma

Ascending the Hall to Speak Dharma

 

Composed by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua

 

Dharma is fundamentally ineffable, what is there to say?

Discussing the Great Way, there’s none; no need for loud, empty talk.

When the laity can refrain from contention and greed, this is supreme wonderful dharma.

Everyone is replete with, none without.

No need to look for the donkey while riding atop one.

No need to attach another head atop the one in place.

You’ve got the original view, you have the original garden. 

There is no need to seek elsewhere. Coexisting without discord is not surprising.
