MEDICINE MASTER SUTRA

 

One may have ten thousand mansions,

But one doesn’t need more than eight feet

      of space to sleep in at night.

One may have ten thousand acres of fertile fields,

But one can only eat three meals a day.

Good done in the hope that others will notice

      is not genuine good.

Evil done in the fear that others will find out

      is truly great evil.

 

(from page 30)

 

 

The Pure Land is in the mind.

Amitabha is in one’s own nature.
