Where there is great doubt, there is great awakening; small doubt, small awakening; no doubt, no awakening.

The treasure house within you contains everything, and you are free to use it. You don't need to seek outside.

When you realize how perfect everything is, you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.

Where is the place that your original face has not yet emerged?

The farther you enter into truth, the deeper it is.

Intrinsically all living beings are Buddhas, just as ice and water are of the same substance.

Everybody has the light of Buddha within, but they don't look for it.

Without darkness, there is no light. Without the path, there is no arrival.

Meditation in the midst of activity is a thousand times superior to meditation in stillness.

The Buddha and all sentient beings are nothing but expressions of the one mind. There is nothing else.

The silence between the notes is as important as the notes themselves.

The instant you speak about a thing, you miss the mark.

The superior person is like water, bringing benefit to all without competing.

Should you desire the great tranquility, prepare to sweat white beads.

Not knowing how near the truth is, we seek it far away.

The mind of the past is ungraspable; the mind of the future is ungraspable; the mind of the present is ungraspable.

At the bottom of great doubt lies great awakening. If you doubt fully, you will awaken fully.

When walking, just walk. When sitting, just sit. Above all, don't wobble.

The obstacle is the path.

Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks.
