Without the mind there is no Buddha. Without the Buddha there's no mind.
Bodhidharma
Image
The Buddha is your real body, your original mind. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones. It's like space. You can't hold it. It's not the mind of materialists or nihilists. If you don't see your own miraculously aware nature, you'll never find a Buddha, even if you break your body into atoms.

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