Our true buddha-nature has no shape. And the dust of affliction has no form.

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

I do not need any writing, since I transmit teaching beyond words and ideas.

Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.

Still others commit all sorts of evil deeds, claiming karma doesn't exist. They erroneously maintain that since everything is empty, committing evil isn't wrong. Such persons fall into a hell of endless darkness with no hope of release. Those who are wise hold no such conception.

If you know that everything comes from the mind, don't become attached. Once attached, you're unaware. But once you see your own nature, the entire Canon becomes so much prose. It's thousands of sutras and shastras only amount to a clear mind. Understanding comes in midsentence. What good are doctrines? The ultimate Truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They're not the Way. The Way is wordless. Words are illusions. . . . Don't cling to appearances, and you'll break through all barriers. . . .

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.
