"Arouse the mind without resting it on anything." - Diamond Sutra - (Profile updated August 2007)
Inherently Non-Existent "be one with the flower..."
Life's like a train ride. From a myriad of destinations via a large carriage. Absolute home beaded together from moment to moment, station to station in sparkling luminosity. All is ever perfect and complete. Seated across the cabin like gazing upon the lotus pond; life is a reflection, an expression of one and all. Dew drops of joy and empathy glided softly down the petal wings. Gazing at the vast empty skies, life is in the same breath with one and all.
Colors, themes, images, energies, lifestyle and words are fleeting clouds. Love and hatred are like lightning appearing in dark stormy nights; like an illusory flower that vanishes into the sky. Beyond you and me; unmoving equality eliminates illusions, illuminates all directions. All minds are one mind like vapour that eventually rains down into the ocean home. Authenticity is selfless, loving and serving others like our family.
A jhana of life is an ounce of all being. Nothing is neither ultimately dull nor ultimately exciting. Balance and focus travel as swift as the speed of light. Still water runs deep; still mind is fearless. Anything is possible in the power of belief and faith. Judging is ironically ethical and unethical - the dual facets of the same coin. Intuition and trust as being with one and all, like street lights along the highways that support and guide one in the journey. Past present future set sail the calm ocean fields; away from distorted maps, confusions - home is just a moment away which has never been away.

May One & All Be Well & Truly Blessed OM MANI PADME HUM
Carefree, contemplative, joy.
When thoughts and words stall in stillness and silence, knowledge expands itself boundlessly beyond the measure of books and teachings. Such is unrestrained knowing without knowing. When an utter expression of thoughts moves, hence one turns into a prisoner of distorted truth and bound by the limitation of the pagoda walls. Even so to speak are delusory. As illusion awakens in dreams, reality just so for one and all has always never been shifted or turned. Live, be... All phenomena in their full splendours. Life's a dream on the sailing boat. Was it wind that moved?

"I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly I awoke, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man." - Chuang Tzu

All phenomena in splendours like dreams and rainbows.
"Lucid pink; like rainbow that vanishes upon the touch of breath..." - ArieLCªndy©
