One clings to life although there is nothing to be called life; another clings to death although there is nothing to be called death. In reality, there is nothing to be born; consequently, there is nothing to perish.

Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.

Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something - always, in a word, seeking.

The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.

Buddhas don't practice nonsense.

And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
