Do Not Seek Anything Else
There
is a simple way to become a buddha: When you refrain from unwholesome
actions, are not attached to birth and death, and are compassionate
toward all sentient beings, respectful to seniors and kind to juniors,
not excluding or desiring anything, with no designing thoughts or
worries, you will be called a buddha. Do not seek anything else.
