As long as you're enthralled by a lifeless form, you're not free.

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

Trying to find a buddha or enlightenment is like trying to grab space.

When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape.

But when you first embark on the Path, your awareness won't be focused. You're likely to see all sorts of strange, dreamlike scenes. But you shouldn't doubt that all such scenes come from your own mind and nowhere else.

You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.

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