Hello. JM mentioned the excellent Diamond Sutra. Many translations can be
difficult. One very easy to read translation online is by Alex Johnson. It can
be accessed at this address:

One of my favorite quotes is when the Buddha, in speaking of his teachings,
says, "The truth in them is uncontainable and inexpressible. It neither is, nor
is not. What this means is that Buddhas and disciples are not enlightened by a
set method of teachings, but by an internally intuitive process which is
spontaneous and is part of their own inner nature."
