"The Truth that is whole and complete within all of us is to be found within the body. Clearing away the 'dust' through 'the practice of no practice' the truly profound discovery that our very own awareness is Buddha-nature, that is beyond life and death and truly eternal, will be realised. This awakening becomes the fulfillment of the 'practice' of pure awareness - and the return to the warmth, love and compassion of our eternal intrinsically pure awareness, that not for one moment have we ever left".
