Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.
The Buddha is your real body, your original mind.
To find Buddha, you have to see your nature. Whoever sees his nature is a Buddha. If you don’t see your nature, invoking buddhas, reciting sutras, making offerings, and keeping precepts are all useless. Invoking buddhas results in good karma, reciting sutras results in a good memory, keeping precepts results in good rebirth, and making offerings results in future blessings—but no Buddha.
Unless you see your nature, all this talk about cause & effect is nonsense. Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Once you see your nature, sex is basically immaterial
To go from mortal to Buddha, you have to put an end to karma, nurture your awareness, and accept what life brings.
If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha. As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha.
The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.
The mind is the root from which all things grow if you can understand the mind, everything else is included.
According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.
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.
Once you stop clinging and let things be, you’ll be free, even of birth and death. You’ll transform everything.
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
Six Virtues. The Paramitas, or "means to the other shore" : Charity, Morality, Patience, Devotion, Meditation , and Wisdom. All six must be practiced with detachment from the concepts of actor, action, and beneficiary .
The essence of the Way is detachment. And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
All the suffering and joy we experience depend on conditions. As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.
To have a body is to suffer. Does anyone with a body know peace? Those who understand this detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, "To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss." When you seek nothing, you're on the Path.
Poverty and hardship are created by false thinking.
To give up yourself without regret is the greatest charity.
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.
A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad. Such is his power that karma can't hold him. No matter what kind of karma, a buddha transforms it. Heaven and hell are nothing to him. But the awareness of a mortal is dim compared to that of a buddha, who penetrates everything, inside and out.
And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
All phenomena are empty.
Once you know the nature of anger and joy is empty and you let them go, you free yourself from karma.
The Dharma is the truth that all natures are pure. By this truth, all appearances are empty
Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.
Whoever realizes that the six senses aren't real, that the five aggregates are fictions, that no such things can be located anywhere in the body, understands the language of Buddhas.
But when you first embark on the Path, your awareness won’t be focused. You’re likely to see all sorts of strange, dreamlike scenes. But you shouldn’t doubt that all such scenes come from your own mind and nowhere else.
Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen.
To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha....
Using the mind to reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness.
Words are illusions. Freeing oneself from words is liberation.
...the fools of this world prefer to look for sages far away. They don't believe that the wisdom of their own mind is the sage . . . the sutras say, "Mind is the teaching." But people of no understanding don't believe in their own mind or that by understanding this teaching they can become a sage. They prefer to look for distant knowledge and long for things in space, buddha-images, light, incense, and colors. They fall prey to falsehood and lose their minds to insanity.
When your mind doesn't stir inside, the world doesn't arise outside. When the world and the mind are both transparent, this is true vision. And such understanding is true understanding."
If you don't use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is empty and every thought is still. You go from one buddha-land to another. If you use your mind to create mind, every state of mind is disturbed and every thought is in motion. You go from one hell to the next.
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
