It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.

To have a human form is a joyful thing.

Everything has what is innate,everything has what is necessary.

Only fools imagine they are already awake. How clearly they understand everything! How easily they distinguish this deception from that reality!

Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.

Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.

How do I know that loving life is not a delusion? How do I know that in hating death I am not like a man who, having left home in his youth, has forgotten the way back?...someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe that they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, and that man a herdsman- how dense!
