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

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

Worship means reverence and humility it means revering your real self and humbling delusions.

To find Buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a Buddha. If you don't see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings, and keeping precepts are all useless. Invoking buddhas results in good karma, reciting sutras results in a good memory, keeping precepts results in good rebirth, and making offerings results in future blessings-but no Buddha.

To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.

A buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad. Such is his power that karma can't hold him. No matter what kind of karma, a buddha transforms it. Heaven and hell are nothing to him. But the awareness of a mortal is dim compared to that of a buddha, who penetrates everything, inside and out.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
