The Essential Scriptures of the Buddha and Patriarchs
Sūtra in Forty-Two Sections
Section 40
The Buddha said, “A śramaṇa practicing the way should avoid being like an ox turning a millstone, whose body may be going through the motions of walking the path, but whose mind is not. If one is practicing the way with one’s mind, what is the use of going through the motions of ‘practicing the way’?”
