The Dharma of no-thought means even though you see all things, you do not attach to them, but, always keeping your own nature pure, cause the six thieves (the fields of the senses) to exit through the six gates.

Even though you are in the midst of the six dusts, you do not stand apart from them, yet are not stained by them, and are free to come and go.



The Platform Sutra (8th c. CE-13th c. CE), The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch (Chinese: 六祖壇經; pinyin: Liùzǔ Tánjīng or simply: 壇經 Tánjīng) is a Chan Buddhist scripture that was composed in China during the 8th to 13th century. Its key themes are the direct perception of one's true nature, and the unity in essence of śīla (conduct), dhyāna (meditation) and prajñā (wisdom).
