To you who say that your body, just as it is, is already Buddha
When you, inseparable from Buddha, put Buddha’s activity into practice – only then are you a Buddha. And when you act like a fool, then you’re a fool.
It’s only in your approach to life that Buddha appears.
A person who puts a buddha’s actions into practice is called a Buddha.
Any buddha that humans have thought up isn’t a Buddha.
When we say Buddha is unlimited, it means that he’s beyond any fixed form. It isn’t a measurement of his size.
Buddha is sharp-witted, cheerful, and free of attachment. Nevertheless, lots of people these days think that Buddha is dreary and unlucky.
– Kodo Sawaki, ’To You’
