they say there is a pure land

They say there is

a pure land where everything

is only mind, and that there’s a buddha of light

in your own body. Once that buddha of light appears,

mountains, rivers, earth, grass, trees, and forests

suddenly glow with a great light.

 

To see this,

you have to look inside

your own heart. Then what should

you be looking out for? When you are looking

for something that is only mind, what kind of special

features would it have? When you are looking for

the buddha of infinite light in your own body,

how would you recognize it?

 

Inside your own heart.

Trees shine with a great light.

 

Hakuin

bring me the rhinoceros

freedom and quietude

just be still

 

The fun of roaming free

is endless, hard to exhaust. When tired

I sit on a mossy bank, unaware of the cold sun falling

in my love for the cool of the breeze in the pines. Deer descend

to drink of the valley streams; monkeys arrive to pick of

the mountain fruits. What I originally valued were

freedom and quietude; why should

I require that people

know of me?

the reward of the virtuous

carl moon, navajo weaver

 

Greed for

enlightenment and

immortality is no different

than greed for material wealth.

It is self-centered and dualistic, and

thus an obstacle to true attainment.

Therefore these states are never

achieved by those who covet

them; rather, they are

the reward of the

virtuous.

 

If you

wish to become

a divine immortal angel,

then restore the angelic qualities

of your being through virtue

and service.

 

This is the only

way to gain the attention

of the immortals who teach the

methods of energy enhancement

and integration that enable

one to reach the

divine realm.

 

These angelic

teachers cannot be sought out;

it is they who seek out the student.

When you succeed in connecting your

energy with the divine realm through

high awareness and the practice of

undiscriminating virtue, the

transmission of the

ultimate subtle

truths will

follow.

 

This is the path that all angels

take to the divine realm.
