Yet, though it is like this, simply, flowers fall amid our longing and weeds spring up amid our antipathy.

There are those who, attracted by grass, flowers, mountains, and waters, flow into the Buddha Way.

Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.

Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.

Realization doesn't destroy the individual any more than the reflection of the moon breaks a drop of water. A drop of water can reflect the whole sky.

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.

Practice and enlightenment are not two.
