The buddha is inside...


Talking about food won't make you full.

talking about clothes won't make you warm.

only eating food will make you full.

only wearing clothes will keep you warm.

people who don't know how to reason
just say a buddha is hard to find,

look inside your mind there's the buddha,
don't look around outside

- Hanshan (Cold Mountain)
