Not thinking about anything is zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the buddha.

The buddhas of the ten directions have no mind. To see no mind is to see the buddha.

The buddha is your real body, your original body. This mind has no form or characteristics, no cause or effect, no tendons or bones, It's like space. You can't hold it.

The ultimate truth is beyond words. Doctrines are words. They're not the Way. The Way is wordless. Words are illusions. They're not different from things that appear in your dreams at night.
