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.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

The awareness of mortals falls short. As long as they're attached to appearances, they're unaware that their minds are empty. And by mistakenly clinging to the appearance of things they lose the Way.

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

People who don't see their own nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are liars and fools.

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it's the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
