The awareness of mortals falls short. As long as they're attached to appearances, they're unaware that their mind is empty. And by mistakenly clinging to the appearance of things, they lose the Way.

Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions.

To see nothing is to perceive the Way, and to understand nothing is to know the Dharma, because seeing is neither seeing nor not seeing and because understanding is neither understanding nor not understanding.

Your nature is the Buddha.

Your mind is nirvana.

Words are illusions.

As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha.

All phenomena are empty.

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.
