La lucidité, de même que les rayons du soleil, n’a d’effet que par la fixité de la ligne droite, elle ne devine qu’à la condition de ne pas rompre son regard ; elle se trouble dans les sautillements de la chance.

No ray of Light can shine if severed from its source. Without my inner Light I lose my course.

The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.

The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun; when they are concentrated, they illumine.

The powers of the mind are like the rays of the sun when they are concentrated they illumine.

During such calm sunshine of the mind, these spectres of false divinity never make their appearance.

The essence of the mind is empty, and the myriad conditions are all serene. It is like the great orb of the sun climbing into space—the refulgent brilliance gleams in illumination, purity without a single speck of dust. The realization [of this mind] is without new or old, without shallow or deep. Its explanation depends neither on doctrinal understanding, on teachers, nor on opening up the doors and windows [of one’s house to let in students]. Right now, and that’s it! To activate thoughts is to go against it! Afterward, [you’ll realize] this is the fundamental Buddha.

真理，哪怕只见到一线，我们也不能让它的光辉变得暗淡。

One cannot alter a condition with the same mind set that created it in the first place.

A change of scene will not produce a change of thought in the master mind unless he so elects.

It is impossible that the eye should project from itself, by visual rays, the visual virtue, since, as soon as it opens, that front portion [of the eye] which would give rise to this emanation would have to go forth to the object and this it could not do without time. And this being so, it could not travel so high as the sun in a month's time when the eye wanted to see it.

No small hole can so modify the convergence of rays of light as to prevent, at a long distance, the transmission of the true form of the luminous body causing them.

The mental never influences the physical. It is always the physical that modifies the mental, and when we think that the mind is diseased, it is always an illusion.

There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind…
