Recently a poster named dDIzzIEe had a page with links to Tantric Buddhist texts, might be worth checking out.

Taoism and Mahayana Buddhism became so closely associated that at last the two became fused in what is known as Zen. The Lankavatara Sutra (http://www.buddhistinformation.com/lankavatara_sutra.htm), from which the following extract is taken, was the scripture which the founder of Zen Buddhism expressly recommended to his first disciples.

Those who vainly reason without understanding the truth are lost in the jungle of the Vijnanas (the various forms of relative knowledge), running about here and there and trying to justify their view of ego-substance.
The self realized in your inmost consciousness appears in its purity; this is the Tathagata- garbha (literally, Buddha-womb), which is not the realm of those given over to mere reasoning....
Pure in its own nature and free from the category of finite and infinet, Universal Mind is undefiled Buddha-womb, which is wrongly apprehended by sentient beings.

Lankavatara Sutra



One Nature, perfect and pervading, circulates in all natures,
One Reality, all-comprehensive, contains within itself all realities.
The one Moon reflects itself wherever there is a sheet of water,
And all the moons in the waters are embraced within the one Moon.
The Dharma-body (the Abosolute) of all the Buddhas enters into my own being.
And my own being is found in union with theirs....
The Inner Light is beyond praise and blame;
Like space it know no boundaries,
Yet it is even here, within us, ever retaining its serenity and fulness.
It is only when you hunt for it that you lose it;
You cannot take hold of it, but equally you cannot get rid of it,
And while you can do neither, it goes on its own way.
You remain silent and it speaks; you speak, and it is dumb;
The great gate of charity is wide open, with no obstacles before it.
