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

Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.

Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.

The ultimate Truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They're not the Way.

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

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

. . . the fools of this world prefer to look for sages far away. They don't believe that the wisdom of their own mind is the sage . . . the sutras say, "Mind is the teaching." But people of no understanding don't believe in their own mind or that by understanding this teaching they can become a sage. They prefer to look for distant knowledge and long for things in space, buddha-images, light, incense, and colors. They fall prey to falsehood and lose their minds to insanity.
