The mind, the Buddha, living creatures - these are not three different things.

—Avatamasaka Sutra

When it is impossible for anger to arise within you, you find no outside enemies anywhere. An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.

"Things are not what they appear to be; nor are they otherwise."

--Surangama Sutra

Shariputra,
Form does not differ from emptiness;
Emptiness does not differ from form.
Form itself is emptiness;
Emptiness itself is form.
So too are feeling, cognition, formation, and consciousness.

--Heart Sutra

"Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter."

—Longchenpa (14th century)

--HH The 14th Dalai Lama
