Re: I have no attainments
what do you mean by "pluck the fruit?"
Re: I have no attainments
The path is not the goal, and neither is reaching the end of the path. The fruit is found beyond the path.
If you want to attain, seek non-attainment. If you want to obtain the fruit, then you must abandon it.
Ponder with discernment and good luck in your practice.
