“Study extensively, be learned and well read; recognize your original mind and master the Buddhas’ teachings. Graciously welcome and get along with all creatures; have no notion of ‘self’ and ‘other.’ Directly reach Bodhi, your unchanging true nature—this is called ‘the incense of liberated knowledge and understanding.’”

—Dharma Jewel Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch
