To carry yourself forward and experience myriad things is delusion.
That myriad things come forth and experience themselves is awakening.
Those who have great realization of delusion are Buddhas;
those who are greatly deluded about realization are sentient beings.
To study the Buddha Way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away.

Bodhisattva should live neither in control of his mind, nor in indulgence of his mind.
Why? To live by indulging the mind is proper for fools and to live in control of the mind is proper for the disciples.
Therefore, the bodhisattva should live neither in control nor in indulgence of his mind. Not living in either of the two extremes is the domain of the bodhisattva.
Not the domain of the ordinary individual and not the domain of the saint, such is the domain of the bodhisattva.
The domain of the world yet not the domain of the passions, such is the domain of the bodhisattva.
