If you seek the buddha, you
will be caught by the buddha demon; if you seek
the patriarchs, you will be bound by the
patriarch demon. Whatever you are seeking, all
becomes suffering. It is better to have nothing
further to seek. - Rinzai

The inner emptiness is the
door to God. - Osho

Let me drop a word of
advice for believers of my faith.
To enjoy life’s immensity, you do not need many
things. - Ryokan
-
Mind is simply a
combination of all the thoughts, of all the
clouds. Mind has no independent nature of its
own. When all the thoughts are gone and the sky
is clean and clear, you will see that everything
that you have paid so much attention to is
nothing but emptiness. Your thoughts were all
empty. They contained nothing, they were void. -
Osho

To attain enlightenment you have to see your
nature. unless you see your nature, all this
talk about cause and effect is nonsense. buddhas
don't practice nonsense. a buddha is free of
karma, free of cause and effect. to say he
attains anything at all is to slander a buddha.
what could he possibly attain? Even focusing on
a mind, a power, an understanding or a view is
impossible for a buddha. a buddha isn't
one-sided. the nature of his No-Mind is
basically empty, neither pure nor impure. he's
free of practice and realization. he's free of
cause and effect. A buddha doesn't observe
precepts. a buddha doesn't do good or evil. a
buddha isn't energetic or lazy. a buddha is
someone who does nothing, someone who can't even
focus his mind on a buddha. Bodhidharma
