Huangbo #3 + Bonus Link

Mind is like the void in which there is no confusion or evil, as when the sun wheels through it shining upon the four corners of the world...If you look upon the Buddha as presenting a pure, bright or Enlightened appearance, or upon sentient beings as presenting a foul, dark or mortal-seeming appearance, these conceptions resulting from attachment to form will keep you from supreme knowledge...There is only the One Mind and not a particle of anything else on which to lay hold...If you students of the Way do not awake to this Mind substance, you will overlay Mind with conceptual thought, you will seek the Buddha outside yourselves, and you will remain attached to forms, pious practices and so on, all of which are harmful and not at all the way to supreme knowledge.

Huineng said it better!

Also, where's TOM at. I was expecting an OP this morning.
