„Ujrzeć Prawdziwą Naturę i stać się buddą, to znaczy poznać własną naturę i odciąć się od korzeni istnienia.(…) Nie ma narodzin i śmierci, nie ma złudnych namiętności. To znaczy „stać się buddą.””

Budda to oświecenie.

Lanxi Daolong: Cytaty po angielsku

“Thirty years and more
I worked to nullify myself.
Now I leap the leap of death.
The ground churns up
The skies spin round.”

Japanese Death Poems. Compiled by Yoel Hoffmann. ISBN 978-0-8048-3179-6; Cited in: Eugene Thacker. " Black Illumination: Zen and the poetry of death https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2016/07/02/books/black-illumination-zen-poetry-death/#.Wy4PIqczZEY," Special to the JAPAN TIMES, July 2, 2016.

“Zen practice is not clarifying conceptual distinctions, but throwing away one's preconceived views and notions and the sacred texts and all the rest, and piercing through the layers of coverings over the spring of self behind them. All the holy ones have turned within and sought in the self, and by this went beyond all doubt. To turn within means all the twenty-four hours and in every situation, to pierce one by one through the layers covering the self, deeper and deeper, to a place which cannot be described. It is when thinking comes to an end and making distinctions ceases, when wrong views and ideas disappear of themselves without having to be driven forth, when without being sought the true action and true impulse appear of themselves. It is when one can know what is the truth of the heart.”
