The essence of all phenomena is empty and clear like space. The nature of mind is awareness-emptiness like the sun and sky.

The everyday practice is simply to develop complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions.

The practitioner and practice are like fire and wood. The more you practice, the more you burn.

Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour.

In the moment of anger, abandon anger but not the person. In the moment of attachment, abandon attachment but not the person.

The supreme path is not to fabricate anything. The supreme meditation is not to be distracted.

External phenomena are like a dream, whatever appears is not real. Recognize the nature of dream-like phenomena to be dream-like.

Appearances are mind, mind itself is emptiness, emptiness itself is spontaneous presence.

The nature of mind is like a mirror. It is not affected by whatever appears in it, yet it never fails to reflect everything perfectly.

The nature of everything is empty and clear, and the mind is beyond both existence and nonexistence.

Past thoughts are traceless, clear, and empty. Future thoughts are unborn and fresh. The present moment abides naturally and unconstructed.

The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is that buddhas recognize their nature while sentient beings fail to recognize it.

The root of all mind is your own present pure awareness. Rest in that essence without seeking elsewhere.

All that appears and exists, all of samsara and nirvana, has one ground, two paths, and two results. This is the magical display of awareness and unawareness.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

To see directly is to be free of hope and fear. Hope and fear are like a cloud before the sun.

When thoughts arise, recognize them as the display of your own awareness, like recognizing your own children in a crowd.

The dharma is not outside of you. Looking for it elsewhere is like placing a Buddha on your head while searching for him everywhere else.

If you want to know the past, look at the present. If you want to know the future, look at the present.

Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
