Every man possesses the Buddha-nature. Do not demean yourselves.

Though it has no thought of keeping watch, it's not for naught that the scarecrow stands in the grain field.

If we look at the world with a deluded body and mind, we will think that our self is permanent. But if we practice correctly and return to our true self, we will realize that nothing is permanent

Practice and enlightenment are not two.

Studying the Buddha way is studying oneself. Studying oneself is forgetting oneself. Forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. Being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.

The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.

That you carry yourself forward and experience the myriad things is delusion. That the myriad things come forward and experience themselves is awakening
