The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.

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

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

The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature, which isn't apparent because it's shrouded by sensation and delusion.

Trying to find a buddha or enlightenment is like trying to grab space.
