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

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

Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.

Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us.

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.

As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.

Trying to find a buddha or enlightenment is like trying to grab space.
