Followers of the Way,.. is he who
"enters fire without being burnt,
goes into water without being drowned,
and plays about in the three deepest hell, as if in a fairground;..."
Why is this so?
Because there is nothing he dislikes. If you love the sacred and dislike the worldly, you will go on floating and sinking in the ocean of birth and death..If the heart is stilled, where then do you seize the passions? Do not tire yourselves by making up discrimination, and quite naturally,of itself, you will find the Way.
---The Zen Teaching of Rinzai
