The famous sayings of Buddhist classics and Zen are as follows:

1. If you can have no intention, that is the ultimate. If you are not straightforward and have no intention, you will practice for many kalpas and eventually you will not achieve enlightenment.

2. Ordinary people take the environment, Taoists take the mind, and forgetfulness of the state of mind is the true method.

3. But when it comes to all dharmas, if you don’t see whether they exist or not, you can see dharmas.

4. A thought that is far from the truth is all delusion.

5. If you want to have no realm, you should forget your mind. If your mind forgets, your realm will be empty. If your realm is empty, your mind will disappear.

6. Just follow your original mind and don’t need to seek the Dharma.

7. A fool will get rid of things but not his heart, and a wise man will not get rid of things except his heart.

8. The Bodhisattva’s heart is like space, giving up everything, and not clinging to any merit he makes.

9. What cannot be said is called Dharma.

10. Buddha is created by his own mind, so how can he seek it from words?

11. If you don’t cling to yourself and don’t differentiate between dharmas, you can tame your mind. If you can tame your mind, you can clearly understand the dependent origin of all dharmas and understand the emptiness of the dharma nature of dependent origin.

12. The most important thing in cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind. If you can concentrate on the situation and avoid other things, it will be the supreme path to Bodhi.

13. If someone has the Dharma, it is because of the evil and heretical views.

14. The mind does not take the past dharma in vain, nor is it greedy for future things. It does not dwell in the present, and realizes that the three lifetimes are empty and peaceful.

15. Don’t think about the past, whether it was good or bad. Thinking about it will get in the way. There is no need to care about the future. Care about the future will make you crazy. Now, there is no need to think about things in front of you, whether they are going smoothly or against you. If you pay attention, you will disturb everything. But everything is temporary, socializing according to circumstances, and naturally conforms to the principle of Tao.
