The world is on fire! And you are laughing? You are deep in the dark. Will you not ask for a light?

I have the True Dharma Eye, the Marvelous Mind of Nirvana, the True Form of the Formless, and the Subtle Dharma Gate, independent of words and transmitted beyond doctrine. This I have entrusted to Mahakashyapa.

For innumerable reasons, Mahamati, the Bodhisattva, whose nature is compassion, is not to eat any meat.

If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs,follow that wise man ; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.

The seeker is that which is being sought.

Form is emptiness, emptiness is form

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.
