Once you stop clinging and let things be, you'll be free, even of birth and death. You'll transform everything.

When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

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

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.

The mind's capacity is limitless, and its manifestations are inexhaustible. Seeing forms with your eyes, hearing sounds with your ears, smelling odors with your nose, tasting flavors with your tongue, every movement or state is all your mind.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.
