To Study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to drop the self. To drop the self is to be awakened by the ten thousand dharmas. To be awakened by the ten thousand dharmas is to free one’s body/mind and those of others. No trace of attachment to the awakening remains, and this non-attachment to awakening continues forever.
