Holy Spirit

During the old days in China, common people learn
how to recognize Chinese characters by reciting
San Zi Jing or The Book of Three Words. The
whole book contains meaningful three word phrases,
and read like a poem. It begins with
"Men are born good, environment differntiates us from
each other; men should acquire knowledge ..."

Zen Master Huineng said, "Men are born with Buddha
potential, discover that wisdom within, and you'll be a
buddha."

So men are born with good nature and conscience,
hasting world sometimes blinded our wisdom within.
This inner wisdom is very much like the Holy Spirit,
it is in us, and up to us to find it and follow it.
