"If you lack faith in yourself, you’ll keep on tumbling along, following in bewilderment after all kinds of circumstances and being taken by them through transformation after transformation without ever attaining freedom. Bring to rest the thoughts of the ceaselessly seeking mind, and you will not differ from the Buddha. Do you want to know the Buddha? He is none other than you who stand before me listening to my discourse."

-Great Master Linji Yixuan
