The awareness of mortals falls short. As long as they're attached to appearances, they're unaware that their minds are empty. And by mistakenly clinging to the appearance of things they lose the Way.

People who don't see their own nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are liars and fools.

According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.

Everything good and bad comes from your own mind. To find something beyond the mind is impossible.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.

Neither gods nor men can foresee when an evil deed will bear its fruit.
