All Buddhas preach emptiness. Why? Because they wish to crush the concrete ideas of the students. If a student even clings to an idea of emptiness, he betrays all Buddhas.

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

I do not need any writing, since I transmit teaching beyond words and ideas.

Don't hate life and death or love life and death. Keep your every thought free of delusion, and in life you'll witness the beginning of nirvana, and in death you'll experience the assurance of no rebirth.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both. . . . The mind and the world are opposites, and vision arises where they meet. When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding.

According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

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