Zen Master Mazu..........

                     The Normal Mind

    The Way does not require cultivation - just don't pollute it.
    What is pollution?  As long as you have a fluctuating mind
fabricating artificialities and contrivances, all this is pollution.
    If you want to understand the Way directly, the normal
mind is the Way.
    What I mean by the normal mind is the mind without
artificiality, without subjective judgments, without grasping
or rejection.
-Zen Essence:  The Science of Freedom
