But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.

To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things.

When the old plum tree blooms, the entire world blooms.

What is reality? An icicle forming in fire.

That the self advances and confirms the ten thousand things is called delusion; that the ten thousand things advance and confirm the self is called enlightenment.

Those who see worldly life as an obstacle to Dharma see no Dharma in everyday actions. They have not yet discovered that there are no everyday actions outside of Dharma.

Consider that nirvana is itself no other than our life.
