People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something, always, in a word, seeking. But the wise wake up. They choose reason over custom. They fix their minds on the sublime and let their bodies change with the seasons.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

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

Not creating delusions is enlightenment.

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

This one life has no form and is empty by nature. If you become attached by any form, you should reject it. If you see an ego, a soul, a birth, or a death, reject them all.

To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.
