They seem incredibly clear to me, just so simple that they go over peoples heads.

Take the Diamond Sutra for example, it is clear enough.

Nobody has ever been enlightened, no self can be.

Nobody who claims it, has it, and nobody who has it can claim it and still have it.

It isn't evolution, it isn't gained, it isn't something that you already have.

It is far more simple than all that, more profound than any interpretation of teaching.
