Jam #3 - straight lines of mankind v. nature
fascinate me.. nonetheless
surely then, man do jest
for where he would make nature straight
it will eventually flatline him in his place

Q: How do you point directly to mind?
ZMSS: Not dependant on anything means a straight pointing to mind. Pointing is mind. When a monk asks, "What is Buddha?" and the response is, "Dry shit on a stick" or "Three pounds of flax," usually people don't understand. "Dried shit on a stick... that is Buddha? Why? That's not Buddha. That is dried shit on a stick... that's dirty."
However if somebody experiences inside and outside becoming one point [claps hands], that is the mind. Mind makes everything... sky, ground, dirty, clean‹it doesn't matter‹mind makes it all. Mind made "dried shit on stick," but that's not Zen style, that's explanation style. Zen just points.
