"Buddha-nature is natural and spontaneous; it is not caused, conditioned, or fabricated." (Pao-chih)
"Do not hold to the intellectual understanding of others; turn the light of awareness back to the root, and it is not there at all." (Pao-chih)
"If you place your mind in the midst of grasping and rejecting, you will be under the influence of those two states." (Pao-chih)
"If you realize the original mind is empty some day, the fullness of reality as is will not leave you lacking." (Pao-chih)
"Just seek nothing at all, and afflictions will naturally fall away." (Pao-chih)
"The nature of things is empty and has no verbal explanation; there is nothing at all in interdependent occurrence." (Pao-chih)
"The objects of sense are originally empty and null; ordinary people arbitrarily create attachments and fixations. Nirvana and samsara are equal; who in the world gets differential treatment? The uncontrived Great Way is natural and spontaneous; you don’t need to use your mind to figure it out." (Pao-chih)
"The right way and wrong ways are not two. When perfectly known, ordinary and sage are on the same road. Illusion and enlightenment originally have no distinction; nirvana and samsara are one suchness." (Pao-chih)
"The wise have no mind to seek Buddha. The ignorant cling to wrong and right. Passing all their lives in wasted toil, they do not see the sublime peak of realization of being as is. If you realize the essence of lust is empty, then even hellfire is cool." (Pao-chih)
"When they realize that life and death are like dreams, all their sense of seeking will spontaneously stop." (Pao-chih)
"When you know all things are equal, you are serenely clear and open, blissfully happy." (Pao-chih)
