‘What is the single essential matter? It is the buddha unfolding knowledge and entering realization. You are originally buddha knowledge. You who have this knowledge are a buddha. You should trust right now that the buddha knowledge is your own mind.’ (The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch)
Don’t think that the Buddha is a person who comes along and dispenses the teachings for you.
Shundo David Haye - Zen Priest
