The Practice of the Way


“Oh, good man! You say: 'A person dies moment after moment. How can there be any growth'? But as the mind is not cut off, there is growth. Oh, good man! A man recites. The letters read cannot occur simultaneously. Which came first cannot extend to the middle, and which was read in the middle, cannot go to the end. The man, the letters and the mental image die out moment after moment, and practicing a lot we come to knowledge.

Therefore, know that a person cannot be equal to the others. If were equal, no differences could arise. The same applies to the practice of the Way by a being. By one action, a person may not achieve the goal. But through long practice, it does away with all defilements."

Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 35, on Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 3.
