dwelling among graves. The third kind mentioned is in
caves where I have meditated for two years. My own and
rather unique kind of hermit-life was experience of
spiritual practice while taking a ten-day boat journey on a
Chinese river.
c) The Attainment of Consequence: a Certainty of
Enlightenment
By the practice of Pure Land doctrines I have clearly
seen in my meditations the large silver lotus of one
thousand petals which awaits me in Sukhavati.
From practicing Chan, I have gained many experiences
of Truth through meditations. Please see my work of
Chan: "Lighthouse in the Ocean of Chan."
In the six kinds of Tantra, I have had at least the low class
of attainment, which should be kept in secret as the
commandment said. However there is no claim here to
Full Enlightenment and the world also has no need of me
at present. To this let me give a little poem:
A little rain in a deep dark night,
A little rock for a fishing jetty,
A little lamp on the half cold boat,
A little fish comes into the net.
I am very regretful I have not completed what I imagined
to be the four conditions of an ideal Buddhist.
