Song of Mind
Morning meditation — Natural wisdom is self-illuminating.
‘Natural wisdom is self-illuminating; All dharmas return to thusness. There is no returning, no receiving; Stop contemplating, forget keeping.’
Niutou Farong
Morning meditation — Bodhi has always existed.
‘Bodhi has always existed;

Vexation has never existed,
No need to eliminate it.’
Niutou Farong
Morning meditation — If one-mindedness is impeded.
‘If one-mindedness is impeded,
All dharmas are misunderstood.
Coming and going thus,
Is there need for thorough investigation?’
Niutou Farong
Morning meditation — Knowing mind as no-mind.
‘Knowing mind as no-mind, neither ill nor medicine.

‘Bodhi originally exists — no need to guard it. Delusion originally empty — no need to eliminate it.’
Zen Master Niutou
