To have a body is to suffer.

To have a body is to suffer. Does anyone with a body know peace? Those who understand this detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, "To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss." When you seek nothing, you're on the Path.

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

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

But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind.

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

The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind.
