Sun Face Buddha (BCR3)
KOAN:
Ancestor Ma was sick. The superintendent of the monastery asked him, “How are you feeling these days?”
The Ancestor said, “Sun Face Buddha, Moon Face Buddha.”
-Blue Cliff Record, Case 3
I vow to wake all the beings of the world,
I vow to set endless heartache to rest,
I vow to walk though every wisdom gate,
I vow to live the great Buddha Way.
