Our
buddha-nature is beyond pure or impure. It means just to be aware-- just
to be aware of your true nature which is beyond pure or impure. Do you
understand? To attach to purity is good, but buddha-nature is
not pure or impure. Do you understand this point? If you understand this point,
just to sit without thinking-- without being bothered by something which comes or images. Don't try to escape from
it. Just sit. It will go. And you are beyond it. Those come in and
come out. You are beyond
intoxicating liquor.
