00:00:59 - Peg Reads Huineng Poem 00:02:18 - Peg reads a section of the Fukanzazengi (Eihei Do- gen ) regarding Zazen Huineng Poem Deluded, a Buddha is a sentient being;Awakened, a sentient being is a Buddha. Ignorant, a Buddha is a sentient being;With wisdom, a sentient being is a Buddha. If the mind is warped, a Buddha is a sentient being;If the mind is impartial, a sentient being is a Buddha. When once a warped mind is produced,Buddha is concealed within the sentient being. If for one instant of thought we become impartial,Then sentient beings are themselves Buddha. In our mind itself a Buddha exists,Our own Buddha is the true Buddha. If we do not have in ourselves the Buddha mind,Then where are we to seek the Buddha? By: Huineng
