A Pictoral Biography of the Venerable Master Hsu Yun, by Hsuan Hua

No need to chase back and forth like the waves.
The same water which ebbs is the same water that flows.
No point turning back to get water
When it's flowing around you in all directions
The heart of the Buddha and the people of the world...
Where is there any difference?
