If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.

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

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.

If you see your nature, you don't need to read sutras or invoke buddhas. Erudition and knowledge are not only useless but also cloud your awareness. Doctrines are only for pointing to the mind. Once you see your mind, why pay attention to doctrines?

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

If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.
