My daily activities are not unusual—I am just naturally in harmony with them,Grasping nothing, discarding nothing,And everyplace there’s no hindrance, no conflict.My supernatural power and marvelous activityIs drawing water and carrying firewood.
― Layman P'ang [740–808]

All the Buddhas and all sentient beings are nothing but the One Mind, beside which nothing exists. This Mind, which is without beginning, is unborn and indestructible. It is not green nor yellow, and has neither form nor appearance. It does not belong to the categories of things which exist or do not exist, nor can it be thought of in terms of new or old. It is neither long nor short, big nor small, for it transcends all limits, measures, names, traces and comparisons. It is that which you see before you—begin to reason about it and you at once fall into error.
― Huangbo Xiyun [died 850?]

The path is not revealed only after explanation and direction; it is inherently always out in the open. Explanation and direction are expedient methods, used to get you to realize enlightenment; they are also temporary byroads. Some attain realization through explanation, some attain realization through direction, some attain by spontaneous awakening; ultimately there is nothing different, no separate attainment. It is simply a matter of reaching the source of mind.
― Foyan Qingyuan [1067-1120]
