Truth


"Truth" means the truth of prajnaparamita, perfection of wisdom; "untruth" means teachings for rebirth in heaven. The truth of prajnaparamita can enable all beings to cross the ocean of birth and death; once they have crossed over, they should not dwell on it, much less get obsessed with teachings for rebirth in heaven.

---Hui-neng the Sixth Ch'an [Zen] Patriarch in in Commentary on the Diamond Sutra---
