He realized that all sentient beings possess inherent Buddha nature with the potential to achieve ultimate freedom, eternal peace and perfect enlightenment
Ch'an, widely known as Zen in the West, is directly seeing one's true mind, which is the mind of the Buddha.
The object of ch'an training is to realize the mind for the perception of (self-)nature.
No Attachment to Dust
Zengetsu, a Chinese master of the tang dynasty, wrote the following advice for his pupils:
Living in the world yet not forming attachments to the dust of the world is the way of the true Zen student.
When witnessing the good action of another encourage yourself to follow his example. Hearing the mistaken action of another, advise yourself not to emulate it.
Even though alone in a dark room, be as if you were facing a noble guest. Express your feelings, but become no more expressive than your true nature.
Poverty is your treasure. Never exchange it for an easy life.
A person may appear a fool and yet not be one. He may be only guarding his wisdom carefully.
Virtues are the fruit of self-discipline and do not drop from heaven themselves as does rain or snow.
Modesty is the foundation of all virtues. Let your neighbours discover you before you make yourself known to them.
A noble heart never forces itself forward. Its words are as rare gems, seldom displayed and of great value.
To a sincere student, everyday is a fortunate day. Time passes but he never lags behind. Neither glory nor shame can move him.
Censure yourself, never another. Do not discuss right or wrong.
Some things though right, were considered wrong for generations. Since the value of righteousness may be recognized after centuries, there is no need to crave an immediate appreciation.
Live with cause and leave the results to the great law of the universe. Pass each day in peaceful contemplation.
