· Do not seek the Buddha

-
The 'kill the Buddha' comment must be interpreted within the context of the nondual realization espoused by Zen Buddhism. Buddha-nature transcends categories, making room for a world of distinct objects that are also empty of inherent existence. Indeed, from the point of view of Buddha (awakeness) there is no inside or outside - only a creative display infused with unborn awareness. Within the rubric of Zen practice it is impossible to see the Buddha. It is possible to see things that have a 'buddha' signifier attached to them from the conventional point of view, but this would not be construed as an enlightenment experience. Your basic nature is Buddha, neither inside nor outside. SOURCE: What-does-if-you-meet-the-Buddha-on-the-road-kill-him-mean

· Suffering is natural

-
We are afraid of being overwhelmed by the suffering inside. That is why we try to run away from ourselves, from our own suffering. We try to consume in order to cover up the suffering inside. We watch television we go to the internet, we play music, we talk on the phone, we open the refridgerator and find something to eat. All that has only one purpouse: to run away from our suffering, to cover up our suffering by the way of consumption. SOURCE: The Country of Your True Home - Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

· Karmas are also empty

-
Though atachment and anger are empty, yet they are capable of creating karma. Karmas are also empty, yet they are capable of producing sufferings. Sufferings are empty too, yet they are unbearable to experience... SOURCE: Karma and Rebirth
