Good people, the real Buddha is formless; the real Dharma has no marks. The way you are acting is to erect models and patterns based upon the illusory transformations [which were provisionally put forward in the Buddhist teachings].

Where it revolves is surely obscure. If, following the flow, you can recognize its true nature, there is no joy or sorrow.’
