If your mind is pure, all buddha-lands are pure.

If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.

The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.

But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

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

Those who worship don't know, and those who know don't worship.

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.
