‘Speaking dharma happens in myriad ways, in all kinds of actions, not only those that issue from throats. In just this way, all beings speak dharma, including the insentient ones. In this speaking dharma by insentient beings there are all buddhas, all ancestors. The speaking of the insentient isn’t limited by their conditions. There are conditions, and there is the dharma that is universal, that is not itself the limited conditions it is about. All buddhas are present throughout the universe, not picking and choosing.’ (Receiving the Marrow)
