The Great Way

The Great Way is not difficult
for those who have no preferences.
When love and hate are both absent
everything becomes clear and undisguised.
Make the smallest distinction, however,
and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart.
If you wish to see the truth then

hold no opinion for or against.
The struggle of what one likes and what

one dislikes is the disease of the mind.

Sosan, Third Zen Patriarch
