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.

When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding.

Someone who seeks the Way doesn't look beyond himself.

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

In order to see a fish you must watch the water

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting. The Way has no form or sound. It's subtle and hard to perceive. It's like when you drink water: you know how hot or cold it is, but you can't tell others.

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.
