Thought you might enjoy this:
"Someone asked, 'What is the right view?'"
"The right view is the ability to see the nature of becoming, abiding, ceasing, and emptiness in all phenomena whether you are entering the sacred or the profane, the pure or the defiled, when you are entering the lands of the Buddhas anywhere, the places of Sukhavati or the Dharma realms of Vairocana. Right view is to see the mark of no coming, no going, unborn and undying in the Buddha's arising in the world, becoming enlightened, turning the wheel of the Dharma, and entering nirvana. Right view is to see in a penetrating way the mark of emptiness of all phenomena. You see that nothing is real in the way you thought it was when you enter the Dharma realms of the unborn, travel for your enjoyment to Buddha lands, and enter the Avatamsaka realm. Right view is to see that the person who does not need a place to rely on as he listens to the Dharma is indeed the mother of all Buddhas. Why? Because all Buddhas are born from the place of non-reliance. If you are able to awaken to the state of having nowhere to go back to, you will see that the nature of the Buddha is non-attainment. To see that is the right view.
"If you wish to roam in birth and death as a free person, you should recognize who it is who is listening to the Dharma here. Although that person has no form, no distinguishing sign, no basis, no origin, no place of abode, he is living, infinitely active, able to display tens of thousands of wonderful functions, and all those functions have the nature of non-abiding.
"On the other hand, the more you look for something, the farther away you are from it, the more you are off the mark. This is called the wonderful mystery."

it is OK to see funny side.
