A cultivator asked the Master, "[It is said that] mind is Buddha, but which one is [the true] Buddha?"
_
The Master said, "Can you point something that you think is not Buddha?"
_
The cultivator had no reply.
_
The Master added, "If you have realization, then everything is Buddha; if you haven't had awakening, then you will be far away from it forever."
_
(Sun-Faced Buddha, P.113)
_
Well, can you point out something that isn't Buddha?
_
If not, then, isn't where your mind currently is, what it's focused on, also Buddha?
_
That very spot is your liberation. You can completely rest there.
_
No need to move from it, ever.
_
But you can. :)
_
If, what your mind is currently focused on, is not the 'True" Buddha.....
Listen then to Mazu. You will never find Buddha that way;
_
Even if you search every atom of each and every universe!
