The HSIN SHIN MING or Verses of the Faith Mind, a rich text written by the Third Zen Patriarch of China, Sengtsan (d. 606 AD) says:
“The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinions for or against anything.”
angel Kyodo williams talks about cultivating Faith Mind, and how “not picking and choosing” can bring more ease to our everyday lives.
