Huineng
To be unstained in all environments is called no-thought…If you stop thinking of the myriad things, and cast aside all thoughts, as soon as one instant of thought is cut off, you enter another realm.
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, cast the six thieves 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.
