- Reader of the sutras: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- The sutras
- One suchness
- To take up this great affair, you must have a determined will. If you're half believing and half in doubt, there'll be no connection. An ancient worthy said, "Studying the path is like drilling for fire. You still can't stop when you get smoke: Only when sparks appear is the return home complete." Want to know where it's complete? -- it's the worlds of self and the worlds of others as one suchness.
- Faith
- Buddha said, "Faith can forever destroy the root of affliction; faith can focus you on the virtues of buddhahood." He also said, "Faith can transcend the numerous roads of delusion, and display the path of unexcelled liberation."
- If you can believe directly that this mind has definitely attained enlightenment from the beginning, and abruptly forget all your views, then these roads of delusion themselves are the route of enlightenment, by which the person escapes from birth and death.
