If you seek the Buddha outside of your mind, you won’t find the Buddha.
When you know everything is illusory and are able to steer clear of it, you will find the Buddha.
If you can’t see the nature of the mind and matter, you won’t find the Buddha.
This very mind and the condition is the Buddha.
心外求佛即非佛，知幻离幻即是佛；
非心非物亦非佛，即心即缘才是佛。
