Good friends, the true teaching originally is neither sudden nor gradual; it is human temperaments that may be quick or slow. People who are lost cultivate gradually, while people who are awakened attain suddenly. When you know your own original mind and see your own original nature, then there is no difference. That is why the temporary terms sudden and gradual are set up.
---The Sutra of Hui-neng (aka, The Platform Sutra)---
