Coming, going, the waterbirds, don't leave a trace, don't follow a path.

There is no beginning to practice nor end to enlightenment; There is no beginning to enlightenment nor end to practice.

What is the way of the Buddha? It is to study the self. What is the study of the self? It is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is to enlightened by everything in the world.

The recognition of the coming and going of things is a first step in training and practice.

An ancient buddha said, “Mountains are mountains; waters are waters.” These words do not mean mountains are mountains; they mean mountains are mountains.

Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we grasp onto the physical forms we see. Since we are provided with both a body and a mind, we cling to the sounds we hear. As a consequence, we make ourselves inseparable from all things, yet we are not like some shadowy figure 'lodging' in a mirror or like the moon in water. Whenever we witness what is on the one side, its opposite side will be in darkness.

There are mountains hidden in mountains. There are mountains hidden in hiddenness. This is complete understanding.
