Many roads lead to the Path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.

But this mind isn't somewhere outside the material body of the four elements. Without this mind we can't move. The body has no awareness. Like a plant or a stone, the body has no nature. So how does it move? It's the mind that moves.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher's help.

Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

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