Fragmentary Notes of Bodhi Dharma’s Disciples Question: What is Buddha-Mind? Answer: Your mind is it. When you see the self-same essence of it, you can call it suchness. When you see the changeless nature of it, you can call it Dharmakaya. It does not belong to anything; therefore, it is called Emancipation. It works easily and freely, being never disturbed by others; therefore, it is called the True Path. It was not born, and, therefore, it is not going to perish, so it is called Nirvana. *** *** *** *** *** *** an easy-to-get-and-hard-to-forget-sort-of human. witty. sometimes nastily witty.

Seeking But Not Finding the Recluse Under the pine I ask the boy; He says: “My Mistress is gone To gather herbs. I only know She’s in those mountains, In those deep clouds, But I don’t know where.” - Chia Tao . before you stumble further..... ''It's been said that the Way of Practice is easy, that all you need to do is begin and continue. But the Way of Practice is not easy, for there is a third, more difficult requirement which is to, at all costs, avoid becoming a master. Never think of your self as a master or Practice will die on the spot. So, if you want to maintain this life of Practice, you must find some way to avoid becoming a master. It's that simple. If you can study deeply, observe closely, trust in the Flow without becoming a master, you can maintain your Practice while living a life of grace and beauty. To be or become a master is to be or become something other than the Flow; something other than the Present Unfolding. It's actually to move in the wrong direction.'' - Maverick Sutras i love anything that makes life beautiful, brings joy to all, keeps me creative and holds some surprise. i just love to by myself.
