When you pursue your orginal mind, you should be able to hear moral laws and see divinity in your mind's eye. You should be able to feel and touch the of god with your mind. Unification Church Sun Myung Moon 4-14-57
Passions consist of conceptualizations. The ulitmate non-existence of these conceptualizations and imaginary fabrications - that is the purity that is intrinsic nature of the mind. Misapprehensions is the intrinsic nature of mind. The presumption of self is passion. The absence of self is the intrinsic nature of mind. Buddhism Holy Teaching of Vimalakirti 3

In some ways they're saying the same thing, the pure mind is the connection to the Sacred (God, Heaven). However, the SMM quote is much clearer and direct in it's meaning. It's not so wrapped up in semantics. I find the Buddhist quote rather vague. I had to read it several times before I grasped the concept, but the SMM quote was clear immediately.
I would say the SMM quote is closer to the Sacred.
By the way, I'm sure the word God was capitalized in the original...
