When the absolute is absolute, it is incomplete; within completeness there is also the relative. When the relative is relative, it is not material; even within matter, completeness remains. Deep in the night, theres the energy that brings on dawn; when the sun is at its peak, it lights up the skies.
- I Ching
Of slight account, monks, is the loss of such things as reputation. Miserable indeed among losses is the loss of wisdom. Of slight account, monks, is the increase of such things as reputation. Chief of all the increases is that of wisdom.
- Anguttara Nikaya
Q: I can observe anger and work with greed, but how does one observe delusion? A: You're riding a horse and asking "Where's the horse?" Pay attention.
- Ajahn Chah
In one who has gone the full distance, is free from sorrow, is fully released in all respects, has abandoned all bonds: no fever is found.
- Dhammapada 90, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
That people are unknowing does not mean that they are unknowing like cows or goats. Even ignorant people look for a pathway to reality. But, searching for it, they often misunderstand what they encounter. They pursue names and categories instead of going beyond that name to that which is real.
- Digha Nikaya
As all things are buddha-dharma, there is delusion and realization, practice, and birth and death, and there are buddhas and sentient beings. As the myriad things are without an abiding self, there is no delusion, no realization, no buddha, no sentient being, no birth and death. The buddha way is, basically, leaping clear of the many and the one; thus there are birth and death, delusion and realization, sentient beings and buddhas. Yet in attachment blossoms fall, and in aversion weeds spread.
- Dogen, "Actualizing the Fundamental Point"
