When mortals are alive, they worry about death. When they're full, they worry about hunger. Theirs is the Great Uncertainty. But sages don't consider the past. And they don't worry about the future. Nor do they cling to the present. And from moment to moment they follow the Way.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

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

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha

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.

An Awakened person is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.
