Huang Po : Awakening.

[Guest guest]

Our original Buddha-Nature is, in highest truth, devoid of any trace of

objectivity. It is void, omnipresent, silent, pure; it is glorious and

mysterious peaceful joy-and that is all. Enter deeply in it by awakening to it

yourself. That which is before you is it, in all its fullness, utterly complete.

There is naught besides. Even if you go through all the stages of a

Bodhisattva's progress toward Buddhahood, one by one, when at last, in a single

flash, you attain to full realization, you will only be realizing the

Buddha-Nature that has been with you all the time; and by all the foregoing

stages you will have added to it nothing at all. You will come to look upon

those aeons of work and achievement as no better than unreal actions performed

in a dream. That is why the Tathagata [the Buddha] said: I truly attained

nothing from complete, unexcelled Enlightenment.

...

 

 

One Mind:

Only awake to the One Mind and there is nothing whatever to be attained.

This pure Mind, the source of everything, shines forever and on all with the

brilliance of its own perfection.

But the people of the world do not awake to it, regarding only that which

sees, hears, feels and knows as mind.... If they would only eliminate all

conceptual thought in a flash, that source-substance would manifest itself like

a sun....
