Short and sweet Pai-Chang

Short and sweet like Pai-chang's speech. This speech is very similar to Hui-hai's speech talking about the free mind. Buddhism believes in enlightenment but "After enlightenment you are still the same as you were before. There is no mind and there is no truth."

I think these Chinese readings are very similar to the Buddhism readings because they both believe to become an empty mind and free from reality and delusion. In my opinion we are always have something on our minds. In meditation we can become calm, empty minded and be at peace within ourselves yet we still are thinking. Without thought we would be vegetables, we would be dead.
