It is quite impossible to find the Buddha anywhere other than in once’s own mind.
A person who is ignorant of this may seek externally, but how is it possible to find oneself through seeking anywhere other than in oneself!
Someone who seeks their own nature externally is like a fool who, giving a performance in the middle of a crowd, forgets who he is and then seeks everywhere else to find himself.

- “It is not important whether or not the interpretation is correct–if men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” -
- “If people view somebody as great, then he is” – another, more specific version of the Thomas theorem -
