The essence of the Way is detachment.
And the goal of those who practice is freedom from appearances.
(p. 47)
To have a body is to suffer.
Does anyone with a body know peace?
Those who understand this detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything.
The sutras say, "To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss."
When you seek nothing, you're on the Path.
