Studying the Buddha way is studying oneself. Studying oneself is forgetting oneself. Forgetting oneself is being enlightened by all things. Being enlightened by all things is to shed the body-mind of oneself, and those of others. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues endlessly.

Every man possesses the Buddha-nature. Do not demean yourselves.

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

When one first seeks the truth, one separates oneself from it.

Do not travel to other dusty lands, forsaking your own sitting place; if you cannot find the truth where you are now, you will never find it.

Those who seek the easy way do not seek the true way.
