non-attachment.

aid should all be clear and free
As you
help people and
respond to their potential,
it should all be clear and free. You mustn’t
roll around in the nest of weeds or play with your
spirit in the ghost cave. If the supposed teacher uses
contrived concepts of “mysteries” and “marvels” and “the
essence of truth”, if he cocks his eyebrows and puts a gleam
in his eye and cavorts around uttering apt sayings and thereby
binds the sons and daughters of other people’s families
with doctrines he claims are absolute realities, then
he is just one blind man leading a crowd of
blind people — how can this produce
any genuine expedient
teaching?
regard it as if raising an infant
If you can really
get to see your original Mind,
you must regard it as if you were raising
an infant. In whatever you do such as walking, standing,
sitting, lying down, be aware of Mind so that everything is illuminated
by it, so that nothing of the seven consciousnesses (vijnana) soils it.
If you can keep him [the new born Mind] clear and distinct,
it is like an infant growing up becoming
equal with the father.
the Way is a path for one
If you wish
to enjoy the fruits
of enlightenment, abandon
regard for the conventional and
the communal. The Way is a path
for one. Then it narrows
until there’s not even
space for you
anymore.

when the mind is seen for what it is
The purpose
and result of quietly
observing the self is to forget
the self. When the mind is seen for
what it is and fascination with
its activities dissipates,
reality, which was
always present,
appears.
It is at
this point that we
understand that nothing
is problematic and life
becomes thoroughly
enjoyable.
