What we think of as I is a succession of instants in a continuum of consciousness - Dalai Lama XIV

About Me

"The goal which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at, and which men desire when they lead the life of continence … is OM. This syllable OM is indeed Brahman. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. This is the best support; this is the highest support. Whosoever knows this support is adored in the world of Brahma." ~ Katha Upanishad I

My Interests

If you want to know the realm of buddhahood, You must make your mind as clear as empty space; Leave false thinking and all grasping far behind Which causes your mind to be Unobstructed wherever it may turn. The realm of buddhahood is not some external world Where there is a formal “Buddha”: It’s the realm of the wisdom Of a self-awakened sage. Leave false thinking and all grasping far behind, Causing your mind to be unobstructed Wherever it may turn. The realm of buddhahood is not some external world Where there is a formal “Buddha”: It’s the realm of the wisdom of a self-awakened sage.- Zen Master Ta-hui (1088-1163)
