Throughout this life, you can never be certain of living long enough to take another breath.

There exists just the One mind.

People are scared to empty their minds fearing that they will be engulfed by the void. What they don't realize is that their own mind is the void.

To make use of your mind to think conceptually is to leave substance and attach yourself to form

Why seek a doctrine? As soon as you have a doctrine, you fall into dualistic thought.

Our original nature is...void, omnipresent, silent, pure it is glorious and mysterious peaceful joy - and that is all. Enter deeply into it by awakening yourself.

Consider the sunlight. You may say that it is near, yet if you pursue it from world to world you will never catch it. You may say it is far, yet it is right before your eyes. Chase it and it always eludes you run from it and it is always there. From this example you can understand how it is with the true nature of things.

'Studying the Way' is just a figure of speech, a method of arousing people's interest in the early stages of their development. In fact, the Way is not something which can be studied. Study leads to the retention of concepts, and so the Way is entirely misunderstood

...Therefore it is said: 'The perception of a phenomenon IS the perception of the Universal Nature, since phenomena and Mind are one and the same.'

Nothing is born, nothing is destroyed. Away with you dualism, your likes and dislikes. Every single thing is just One Mind. When you have perceived this, you will have mounted the Chariot of the Buddhas.

When thoughts arise, then do all things arise. When thoughts vanish, then do all things vanish.

Observe things as they are and don't pay attention to other people.

A perception, sudden as blinking, that subject and object are one, will lead to a deeply mysterious understanding and by this understanding you will awaken to the truth.
