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.

At every moment where language can't go, that's your mind.

But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions. If you can wipe out evil desires and harbor good thoughts, even if nothing shows, it's worship. Such form is its real form.

To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

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