To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.

Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.

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

Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn't exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn't wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception.

As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.

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

A buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad. Such is his power that karma can't hold him. No matter what kind of karma, a buddha transforms it. Heaven and hell are nothing to him. But the awareness of a mortal is dim compared to that of a buddha, who penetrates everything, inside and out.
