"Our mind is the same as Buddha. Therefore, for our mind to seek the Buddha is as unnecessary as the Buddha seeking for the Buddha. Likewise, our mind is identical with the Dharma. To use our mind to seek the Dharma is like the Dharma seeking the Dharma - also unnecessary. Buddha, mind and sentient being are not different. There is no Buddha outside of the mind, no Dharma outside of the mind, and no sentient beings outside of the mind."
– Chan Master Sheng Yen, from his book, 'Hoofprint of the Ox'.
