buddha nature is your own nature

here is what a buddha is

🪷 and also here 🪷

 

A deep

and sophisticated

understanding of Buddhism,

Taoism, Zen, Ch’an, philosophy,

meditation technique — none of these

is necessary to attain realization.

They are just as likely to

ensnare you in towers

of complicated

thought.

 

Abide

in the simple

understanding that

buddha nature is always,

has always been, will always be,

your own nature. Breathe into

that. Breathe out from it.

That is all.

Hexagram 25, Wu Wang / Innocence (The Unexpected)

 

the mind’s inherent nirvana

the way to enlightenment

 

When body and mind

are properly attuned, when mind

and spirit are at peace, then in deep mystic

fusion, the breath is pure and cool. Slowly gather

in mind until the path of the spirit is pure and sharp

and the mind-ground is illumined and pure.

As you perceive clearly and distinctly,

inner and outer are empty and

pure — this is the mind’s

inherent nirvana.

 

With this nirvana,

the mind of the sages is manifest.

Though its real nature is formless, intent and

proportion always remain. Thus, the profound luminous

one never ends: it remains forever shining bright.

This is called the buddha-nature, the

enlightened real identity.
