When you don't understand, you depend on reality. When you do understand, reality depends on you.

Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.

Many roads lead to the Path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.

To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.

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.

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

But this mind isn't somewhere outside the material body of the four elements. Without this mind we can't move. The body has no awareness. Like a plant or a stone, the body has no nature. So how does it move? It's the mind that moves.
