If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

Leaving behind the false, return to the true: make no discriminations between self and others. In contemplation, one's mind should be stable and unmoving, like a wall.

The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.

This one life has no form and is empty by nature. If you become attached by any form, you should reject it. If you see an ego, a soul, a birth, or a death, reject them all.
