Since I follow/chase/pursue the immortality; I feel like a countryman who grow up in the streets. an old lion.

You can win at chess without sacrificing any pieces,
so maybe life isn't like chess,
or maybe you don't have to sacrifice anything to 'win' (whatever that means) at life.

The Bodhisattva's Vows

Sentient beings are numberless,
I vow to save them;
Deluding passions are endless,
I vow to destroy them;
Dharma gates are manifold,
I vow to enter them;
The Buddha Way is supreme,
I vow to master it.

believe

ı just add a word.

You can be this, that or those. but the practice is same and one for all ; that empty mind.

As long as we chase projections...
Yes, what then?
We become tired.

Invisible and inevitable, like a butterfly that beats its wings in one corner of the globe and with that single action changes the weather halfway across the world.

Youth is like a summer flower—
Suddenly it fades away.
Old age is like a fire spreading.
Through the fields—
suddenly 'tis at your heels.

Bodhidharma starts with:

Many roads lead to the Path, but basically there are only two: reason and practice.

1-study
understand empty (mind)


2-practice
since, the teaching is empty,
you have no chance but put it into practice; in dailylife.
by simply taking care of your daily life.




now, my words come;

Since the practice is empty you have no chance but to take care of your work. (now)
