If
your mind isn’t
clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season
of your life.

Don’t move.
Just die over and over.
Don’t anticipate. Nothing can save you now,
because this is your last moment. Not even enlightenment
will help you now, because you have no other moments.
With no future, be true to yourself —
and don’t move.

If you want to pass through
easily and directly right now, just let your
body and mind become thoroughly empty, so it is vacant
and silent yet aware and luminous. Inwardly, forget all your
conceptions of self, and outwardly, cut off all sensory
defilements. When inside and outside are clear
all the way through, there is just
one true reality.

Buddhism
advises you not to implant
feelings that you don’t really have or avoid
feelings that you do have. If you are miserable you
are miserable; that is the reality, that is what is happening,
so confront that. Look it square in the eye without flinching.
When you are having a bad time, examine that experience,
observe it mindfully, study the phenomenon and learn
its mechanics. The way out of a trap is to study the
trap itself, learn how it is built. You do this by
taking the thing apart piece by piece.
The trap can’t trap you if it has
been taken to pieces.
The result is
freedom.

Put aside the
crazy and false mind that
has been concocting your knowledge
and understanding, and make it so that
nothing whatsoever is weighing
on your mind.
