The Unborn is the ground of everything; the Unborn is the beginning of everything. Because there is no ground for anything outside of the Unborn and because before the Unborn there was no beginning for anything, the Unborn is the foundation of all Buddhas.”

"Vulcan is that divine power which presides over the spermatic and physical productive powers which the universe contains: for whatever Nature accomplishes by verging to bodies, that Vulcan effects in a divine and exempt manner, by moving Nature, and using her as an instrument in his own proper fabrication. For natural heat has a Vulcanian characteristic, and was produced by Vulcan for the purpose of fashioning a corporeal nature. Vulcan, therefore, is that power which perpetually presides over the fluctuating nature of bodies; and hence, says Olympiodorus, he operates the bellows, which occultly signifies his operating in natures."
Thomas Taylor, footnote to his translation of the Orphic Hymn to Vulcan

"Just thinking that you are a Buddha who is free from all defilements because you have Buddha nature does not make the disturbing emotions go away. You have to realize emptiness. Without realizing emptiness, you cannot eradicate the king of delusions, ignorance.
Without eradicating that, you cannot eliminate the other delusions. You have to follow the whole procedure with all of the steps of the path to liberation or enlightenment. The essence of that path is the wisdom realizing emptiness because that is what ceases all delusions. If somebody does not understand emptiness but just concentrates on the conventional nature of the mind – the clear and cognitive nature of mind – he or she cannot attain liberation.
Similarly, just believing ''I'm Buddha'' without realizing emptiness does not bring liberation. If someone were a Buddha just because he thought, ''I'm a Buddha," that would make him a Buddha without realizations, an ignorant Buddha. Why? Because just thinking "I'm Buddha'' does not make delusions go away. You have to realize emptiness and go through the gradual process of developing that realization over the five paths."

'It is as woman — and not as man — that woman realises herself, elevates herself to the same level as man as Ascetic and as Warrior insofar as she is "Lover" or "Mother".'
