Once, Kyozan said to his master Isan, ”where does the real buddha dwell?”
Isan replied, ”By means of the subtlety of thoughtless thought, contemplate the boundless spiritual brightness. Contemplate it Until returning to the ground of being, the always abiding nature, and its form of the undichotomous principle. This is the real buddha.”
On hearing this, Kyozan was enlightened.
Later, when Kyozan had become a master himself, Isan sent him a mirror as a gift. When he went to the hall where his monks were assembled, Kyozan held up the mirror and said to the assembly, ”Please say whether this is Isan’s Mirror or Kyozan’s mirror. If someone can give a correct reply, I will not Smash it.”
No one answered, and Kyozan smashed the mirror.

Right now, you’re seeing the world through Buddha’s eyes. You’re hearing the world through Buddha’s ears. You’re thinking, feeling, speaking and doing what Buddha is thinking, feeling, saying and doing. There is no “other.” There is no NOT-Buddha.
