All men have the capacity for great benevolence:
The mind of the Bodhisattva Vimalakirti is no different
than that of a butcher or executioner.
All places have the capacity for true pleasure:
A house made of gold is no different
than a hut with thatched eaves.
Ah, but desire creeps in and passion envelops,
And that which is right in front of you is mixed and
mistaken,
Causing the tiniest fraction of an inch to become a
thousand miles.
---Hung Ying-ming---
