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

All know the way, but few actually walk it.

Not suffering another existence is reaching the Way.

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

Not creating delusions is enlightenment.

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

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