Touching Liberation
Insight
can’t be found in sutras, commentaries, verbal expression, or —isms.
Liberation and awakened understanding can’t be found by devoting
ourselves to the study of the Buddhist scriptures. This is like trying
to find fresh water in dry bones. Returning to the present moment, using
our clear mind which exists right here and now, we can be in touch with
liberation and enlightenment, as well as with the Buddha and the
patriarchs as living realities right in this moment.
