Do no harmful actions, do not become attached to the cycle of death and rebirth, show kindness, respect the old and have compassion for the young, do not have a heart that rejects or a heart that covets and have no worry or sadness in your heart. This is what is called enlightenment. Do not seek it elsewhere.

If you do not get it from yourself, where will you go for it?

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

Since it is the practice of enlightenment, that practice has no beginning and since it is enlightenment within the practice, that realization has no end.

In a mind clear as still water, even the waves, breaking, are reflecting its light.

Mountains and oceans have whole worlds of innumerable wondrous features. We should understand that it is not only our distant surroundings that are like this, but even what is right here, even a single drop of water.

One must be deeply aware of the impermanence of the world.
