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

When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding.

As long as you're enthralled by a lifeless form, you're not free.

If you see your nature, you don't need to read sutras or invoke buddhas. Erudition and knowledge are not only useless but also cloud your awareness. Doctrines are only for pointing to the mind. Once you see your mind, why pay attention to doctrines?

The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.

The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind.

I do not need any writing, since I transmit teaching beyond words and ideas.
