A buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad. Such is his power that karma can't hold him. No matter what kind of karma, a buddha transforms it. Heaven and hell are nothing to him. But the awareness of a mortal is dim compared to that of a buddha, who penetrates everything, inside and out.

To have a body is to suffer.

Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help.
