The essence of the Way is detachment.

And the Buddha is the person who's free: free of plans, free of cares.
Buddhas don't practice nonsense.
Words are illusions.
The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included.
Delusion means mortality. And awareness means Buddhahood.
Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
As mortals, we're ruled by conditions, not by ourselves.
Whoever knows that the mind is a fiction and devoid of anything real knows that his own mind neither exists nor doesn't exist.
But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.
Mortals liberate Buddhas and Buddhas liberate mortals.
Our nature is the mind. And the mind is our nature.
People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.
To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.
The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind.
