Now if you only study no-mind, all causation will cease. Do not give birth to false thoughts and distinctions. There are no ‘people’ and there is no ‘self”. There is no ‘desire’ or ‘anger’. No ‘hate’, no ‘love’. No ‘victory’, no ‘defeat’. Simply abandon these like the many types of false thoughts. The nature of the self is, from the beginning, pure. This is practicing bodhi, Dharma, Buddha, etc. If you do not understand this [way of] thinking, then all of your study, diligent and suffering practices, eating vegetables and wearing cloth; these will not allow you to know your own mind.
Huangpo repeats the same thing over and over -- study no-mind, no-mind is the Path, end conceptual thinking, don't form dualistic views, perfect the buddha-mind (which is no-mind), etc.
If that's not enough, what more do you want?
