buddha nature is your own nature

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.

escape into a boiling cauldron

In times past

there was a monk who asked

an old adept, “The world is so hot, I don’t know

where to escape.” The old adept said, “Escape into a

boiling cauldron, into the coals of a furnace.

The multitude of sufferings cannot

reach there.”

This is my

own prescription for

getting results.

i don’t know

the myriad things are peaceful

dream baby dream

Haven’t you

read the ancient worthy’s saying?

“The white clouds are clear and still, and the rivers

flow into the blue sea. The myriad things are

originally peaceful, but people

make trouble for

themselves.”

After all,

this statement is completely

accurate and true. If you know what it means

as soon as you hear it mentioned, you can use it to pass

through birth and death to freedom and no longer be obstructed

by the psycho-physical nexus. You will be like a bird getting

out of a cage — independent and free. With a single

stroke you put a stop to all other actions and

talk, and you no longer fall into

secondary views.

you’re not who you think you are

gideon rubin

Gently I weep for my mind,

caught in its illusion of ownership.

Mind, you’re not who you think you are.

You’re dancing over a pit. Soon you’ll fall through,

and these things you’ve valued and collected will

be left behind. My sweet dear, do you

understand this, and if you do,

how does your food

taste?

Lalla

naked song

the subtle universe appears

rip, colossal soul

Calming

your mind, following

your breath, simplifying your life,

you reduce agitation and worry

with each passing

month.

When

genuine stillness

pervades your existence,

the subtle universe appears.

Then you can go anywhere you

like and give yourself

just what you

need.
