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

Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.

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

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

But when you first embark on the Path, your awareness won't be focused. You're likely to see all sorts of strange, dreamlike scenes. But you shouldn't doubt that all such scenes come from your own mind and nowhere else.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

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