The Way is basically perfect. It doesn't require perfecting.
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
To enter by reason means to realize the essence through instruction and to believe that all living things share the same true nature, which isn't apparent because it's shrouded by sensation and delusion.
People who don't see their nature and imagine they can practice thoughtlessness all the time are lairs and fools.
The Dharma is the truth that all natures are pure.
As long as you're enthralled by a lifeless form, you're not free.
