Mud and Water
Zen Master Bassui Tokusho
Someone
asked: "The Buddhas and patriarchs use so many methods and means in
their teachings, how can there be nothing outside of 'seeing into your
own nature is Buddhahood?' Please elaborate on this."
Bassui responded: "I became a monk in my later years, never learning the sutras. You tell me what dharma there is other than 'seeing into your own Buddhahood.'"
Questioner: "According to the sutras, the World Honored One attained Buddhahood after mastering the Six Perfections. How can this be called 'seeing onto your own nature?'"
The master replied, "What are the Six Perfections?"
