Chuang Tzu
“The perfect man has no self, the holy man has no merit, the sage has no reputation.”
The mind of a perfect man is like a mirror. It grasps nothing. It expects nothing. It reflects but
does not hold. Therefore, the perfect man can act without effort.

Buddha
Bāhiya, you should train yourself thus: In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. In reference to the heard, only the heard. In reference to the sensed, only the sensed. In reference to the cognized, only the cognized. That is how you should train yourself. When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only the heard in reference to the heard, only the sensed in reference to the sensed, only the cognized in reference to the cognized, then, Bāhiya, there is no you in connection with that. When there is no you in connection with that, there is no you there. When there is no you there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two. This, just this, is the end of suffering.
