“ But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside. ”
But people of the deepest understanding look within, distracted by nothing. Since a clear mind is the Buddha, they attain the understanding of a Buddha without using the mind.
~ Bodhidharma
Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen.
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. A Buddha isn’t a Buddha. Don’t think about Buddhas.
Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
