To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.

Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions. If you can wipe out evil desires and harbor good thoughts, even if nothing shows, it's worship. Such form is its real form.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

Everything sacred, nothing sacred.

Without the mind there is no Buddha. Without the Buddha there's no mind.
