| When the inward and the outward are illumined, and all is clear, you are one with the light of the sun and moon. When developed to its ultimate state, this is a round luminosity which nothing can deceive, the subtle body of a unified spirit, pervading the whole universe. Then you have the same function as the sun and moon.
- Liu I-Ming

| Names of the unified mind are Buddha-nature, True suchness, the hidden essence, The pure spiritual body, The pedestal of awareness, The innocent, universal Round mirror-like knowledge, The open source, the ultimate truth, And pure consciousness. The enlightened ones of the Past, present, and future, And all of their discourses, Are all in your fundamental nature, Inherently complete. You do not need to seek, But you must save yourself; No one can do it for you.
- Xuefeng (822 – 908)

| What I teach people just Requires you not to take On the confusion of others. Act when necessary, Without further hesitation or doubt. When students today do not attain this, Wherein lies their sickness? The sickness is in not Trusting yourself. If your inner trust is insufficient, Then you will frantically go along With changes in situations, And will be influenced and Affected by myriad objects, Unable to be independent. If you can stop the mentality Of constant frantic seeking, Then you are no different From Zen masters and Buddhas
-Linji (d. 866
