An enlightened person does not ignore things and does not stick to things, not even to the truth.

As soon as you see something, you already start to intellectualize it. As soon as you intellectualize something, it is no longer what you saw.

In your everyday life you always have opportunities for enlightenment. If you go to the rest room, there is a chance to attain enlightenment. When you cook, there is a chance to attain enlightenment. When you clean the floor, there is a chance to attain enlightenment.

Our practice should be based on the ideal of selflessness. Selflessness is very difficult to understand. If you try to be selfless, that is already a selfish idea. Selflessness will be there when you do not try anything.
