Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘Who is the master of this body, and where does he reside?’
True freedom is freedom from thinking, freedom from all attachments, freedom even from life and death.
thinking makes good and bad, life and death. It creates the whole universe. It is the universal master. And without thinking, there is no universe, no Buddha, no Dharma. All is one, and this one is empty.
“When you are thinking, your mind and my mind are different. When you are not thinking, your mind and my mind are the same. Now tell me—when you are not thinking, is there color? Is there black and white?
The one question is, “What am I?”
understanding ‘hot’ is not the same as attaining ‘hot.’
true emptiness is clear mind. In original clear mind there is no name and no form. Nothing appears or disappears. All things are just as they are.
“If you are thinking, your mind, my mind, and all people's minds are different. If you are not thinking, your mind, my mind, and all people's minds are the same….”
Before thinking, there are no words or speech, no life or death.
Being attached to a thing means that it becomes a hindrance in your mind.
No action is good or bad in itself. Only the intention matters.
Cold and hot are made by thinking. If you cut off thinking, all opposites disappear.
