I’m running because we need change.

Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.

The mind is the root from which all things grow if you can understand the mind, everything else is included.

Words are illusions.

Freeing oneself from words is liberation.

Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.

Buddhas don’t practice nonsense.

The Way is basically perfect. It doesn’t require perfecting.

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

If we should be blessed by some great reward, such as fame or fortune, it’s the fruit of a seed planted by us in the past.

People of this world are deluded. They’re always longing for something – always, in a word, seeking.

Buddhas move freely through birth and death, appearing and disappearing at will.

Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.

You can’t know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.

If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won’t see the Buddha.

People who don’t see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.

But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature, which isn’t apparent because it’s shrouded by sensation and delusion.

Your nature is the Buddha.

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.

Regardless of what we do, our karma has no hold on us.

Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.

To find a Buddha all you have to do is see your nature.

As long as you’re enthralled by a lifeless form, you’re not free.

If your mind is pure, all buddha-lands are pure.

The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.

Not creating delusions is enlightenment.

To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.

As mortals, we’re ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.

Life and death are important. Don’t suffer them in vain.

The Dharma is the truth that all natures are pure.

Your mind is nirvana.

To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.

But deluded people don’t realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

Mortals liberate Buddhas and Buddhas liberate mortals.

The essence of the Way is detachment.

A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.

To have a body is to suffer.

MANY roads lead to the Path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.

Neither gods nor men can foresee when an evil deed will bear its fruit.

All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.

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.

Only one person in a million becomes enlightened without a teacher’s help.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

All phenomena are empty.

The mind is always present. You just don’t see it.

And the Buddha is the person who’s free: free of plans, free of cares.
