 FLOWER ORNAMENT SUTRA Quotes

 

 Just as water flows under the ground
So those who seek it find it,
Without thought, without end,
Its effective power all- pervasive,
Buddha knowledge is also like this,
Being in all creatures' minds;
If any work on it with diligence,
They will soon find the light of knowledge.

There is a wind called destruction
Which can pulverize a universe;
If not stopped by another wind,
Destruction would reach infinite worlds.
The great wind of knowledge is also like this,
Extinguishing the delusions of enlightening beings;
There is another wind of skillfulness,
Enabling them to live, in the land of buddhahood.      

            

  


It is as there is a great scripture
Equal in extend to a universe
Existing inside one atom,
And in all atoms as well;
Someone with intelligence and wisdom
Sees all clearly with pure eyes
And breaks the atoms, releasing the scriptures
For the benefit of all beings.
Buddha-knowledge, likewise,
Is in all beings' minds;
Wrapped up in deluded thoughts,
They are unaware, unknowing;
The buddhas' great compassion
Causes them to get rid of deluded ideas
So knowledge can appear
And benefit enlightening beings.

And the sphere of mind is infinite,
So is the sphere of buddhas.
As the sphere of mind is born from intellect,
So should the sphere of Buddha be seen.
