The one and only thing required is to free oneself from the bondage of mind and body alike, putting the Buddha's own seal upon yourself. If you do this as you sit in ecstatic meditation, the whole universe itself scattered through the infinity of space turns into enlightenment. This is what I mean by the Buddha's seal.

If he cannot stop the mind that seeks after fame and profit, he will spend his life without finding peace.

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

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

Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.

Through one word, or seven words, or three times five, even if you investigate thoroughly myriad forms, nothing can be depended upon. Night advances, the moon glows and falls into the ocean. The black dragon jewel you have been searching for, is everywhere.

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