All Our Waves Are Water
Jaimal Yogis
When he attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree, the first thing the Buddha said was this: "Wonder of wonders! All beings just as they are whole and complete! All beings are endowed with Buddha-nature! But because of their deluded thinking, they fail to realize it."
This statement was really the first koan. The Buddha went on to teach meditation, ethics, and philosophy for forty-five years. He taught to monks and nuns, kings and criminals.
