The Very Depths of Buddhism

The Very Depths of Buddhism

“We say that the highest and the lowest come to resemble each other. Buddhism, when you reach its very depths, is like the man who knows nothing of either the Buddha or the Buddhist Law. It has neither adornment nor anything else that would draw men's attention to it.”

~ Takuan Soho, The Unfettered Mind: Writings of the Zen Master to the Sword Master (translated by William Scott Wilson)
