🌍

“When we first hear about emptiness,
we feel a little frightened.
But after practicing for a while,
we see that things do exist,
only in a different way than we’d thought.

Emptiness is the Middle Way
between existent and nonexistent.
The beautiful flower does not become empty
when it fades and dies.
It is already empty, in its essence.



Our true home is what the Buddha
called the island of Self,
the peaceful place inside of us.

Oftentimes we don’t notice it’s there
we don’t even really know where we are,
because our outer and inner environment
is filled with noise.

We need some quietness
to find that island of Self.

🌸
All that is necessary to awaken to yourself as the radiant emptiness of spirit is to stop seeking something more or better or different, and to turn your attention inward to the awake silence that you are.

🌸
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretence. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.

⚖️🌬️🤍

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun—
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky—
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

💖

The journey to wholeness requires that you look honestly, openly, and with courage into yourself, into the dynamics that lie behind what you feel, what you perceive, what you value, and how you act.
~
It is a journey through your defenses and beyond,
so that you can experience consciously the nature of your personality, face what it has produced in your life, and choose to change that. Words lead to deeds. They prepare the soul, make it ready, and move it to tenderness.
