People of this world are deluded. They're always longing for something - always, in a word, seeking.

But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.

The act of longing for something will always be more intense than the requiting of it.

People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.

People often miss things that don't exist--miss things that were but are not anymore.

Women have always been the strong ones of the world. The men are always seeking from women a little pillow to put their heads down on. They are always longing for the mother who held them as infants.
