Huang Po - One Mind

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....

Huang Po

"I AM NOW"

Hui Hai - Non-Dwelling Mind...

Mind is the Buddha, and it is needless to use this Buddha to seek the Buddha. Mind is the Dharma, and it is needless to use this Dharma to seek the Dharma. Buddha and Dharma are not separate entities, and their togetherness forms the Sangha. Such is the meaning of the Three Jewels in One Substance.... Our Nature, which is intrinsically pure, does not rely on any practice in order to achieve its own state. Only the arrogant claim that there are practice and realization. The real world is without obstruction and its function is, under all circumstances, inexhaustible. It is without beginning or end. A man of high spirituality is capable of sudden Illumination....

The Gurdjieff Movements (excerpts)

Chuang Tzu - How vast...

Heaven does nothing: its non-doing is its serenity.
Earth does nothing: its non-doing is its rest.
From the union of these two non-doings
All actions proceed.
All things are made.
How vast, how invisible
This coming-to-be!

All things come from nowhere!
How vast, how invisible

No way to explain it!
All beings in their perfection
Are born of non-doing.

Hence it is said:
Heaven and earth do nothing
Yet there is nothing they do not do.

Where is the man who can attain
To this non-doing?


~ Chuang Tzu

 

Wei Wu Wei - Doing away...

Zero Enlightenment and the Extinction of “Me”

DOING AWAY with the I-notion is the same as not desiring

the personal attainment of enlightenment.

Not desiring that (the “last desire,” the “last barrier”) is

“having it,” for “having it” is in any case merely being rid of

that which concealed what is forever that which alone we are.

Therefore not desiring personal attainment of that is at

the same time the elimination of the I-notion which constitutes its concealment.

The  idea of liberation automatically inhibits the simple realisation that we are free.
