The Buddha said, Those who renounce the
secular life to become shramanas eradicate desire and lust,
recognize the source of their own mind, penetrate the profound
doctrine of the Buddha, and awaken to the unconditioned
Dharma. With nothing to gain from within and nothing to seek
from without, their minds are not attached to the Way, nor do
they accumulate karma. With no thought, no action, no
cultivation, and no attainment, they transcend the successive
stages and reach the loftiest state of all. This is called the
Way.
The Buddha said, My doctrine is to be
mindful of no-mind, to act with non-action, to speak the
inexpressible, and to cultivate non-cultivation. Those who
understand this are close to the Way; those who are confused
are far from it. The Way is beyond speech and conception, and
nothing can constrain it. To miss this point by a hairs
breadth is to lose the Way
instantly.
