Unbiased Buddhas
"The Liberation of Seeing the True Buddha"
by Hui-neng
Deluded a buddha is a being
enlightened a being is a buddha
a foolish buddha is a being
a wise being is a buddha
a biased buddha is a being
an unbiased being is a buddha,
As long as your mind is biased
the buddha dwells in a being
the moment you wake up unbiased
a being becomes a buddha
Your mind contains a buddha
your buddha is the real one
if you didn't have the buddha-mind
where would you go to find a buddha?
