PICTURE POST: Direct Transmission

A direct transmission outside of scriptures, apart from tradition
Without dependence upon words or letters.
A direct pointing to mind.
Seeing into one’s nature and awakening.

  Fabulous comment, Bob!
  
  Footnote:
  
  There is a famous koan called Joshu’s Dog that goes like this, “A monk asked Joshu, ‘does a dog have Buddha nature?’ Joshu replied ‘mu’!” The monk was enlightened by this answer. Mu means nothing, literally.
