“i’m so grateful for having known him”
 
All things are set 
on a nonabiding basis. The nonabiding basis is 
based on nonabiding. If you can reach a thorough understanding
 of this, then all things are One Suchness, and you cannot 
find even the slightest signs 
of abiding. 
 
The whole of 
your present activities and behavior
 is nonabiding. Once the basis is clear to you, 
it will be like having eyes: the sun is shining brightly, 
and you can see all kinds of colors and 
forms. Isn’t this the mainspring of
transcendent wisdom?
 
Yongjia said, 
“Without leaving wherever you are,
 there is constant clarity.” No words come closer
 to the truth than these. If you start seeking, then we know
 that you are unable to see. Just cut off any duality between 
“wherever you are” and “constant clarity,” and make 
yourself peaceful and serene. Avoid concocting
 intellectual understanding and seeking. 
As soon as you seek, it is like
 grasping at shadows.
