The Greatest Teaching

A renowned Zen master said that his greatest teaching was
this: Buddha is your own mind. So impressed by how
profound this idea was, one monk decided to leave the
monastery and retreat to the wilderness to meditate on this
insight. There he spent 20 years as a hermit probing the
great teaching.
One day he met another monk who was traveling through
the forest. Quickly the hermit monk learned that the
traveler also had studied under the same Zen master.
"Please, tell me what you know of the master's greatest
teaching." The traveler's eyes lit up, "Ah, the master has
been very clear about this. He says that his greatest
teaching is this: Buddha is NOT your own mind."
Moral:- "Buddha is in your mind and Buddha is not in your mind",
both these phrases are right and both these phrases are
wrong. The greatest teaching of the master is that there is
nothing like greatest teaching. The monk who devoted 20
years on the former and the monk, who understood the
later, both misunderstood the master. Both have limited
themselves.
We have so many religions, spiritual organizations and
cults now a days. All have their own way and no way is
perfect. Stop wasting your energy on any so called
knowledge as no knowledge is perfect. Knowledge comes
from mind and mind is imperfect. The same mind which
says "this is right" will say "this is wrong". The story
named Burn the Books tells the same thing.
