Lu-men moonlight spills through misty trees,
and I come again to the old hermitage.
The path leads through pines,
to the brushwork door
back again to solitude and silence.
Where a hermit lives,
there’s no need for companions.

Although hundreds or thousand explanations are given, there is only one "thing" to understand.
Know that what liberates everything;
*awareness itself*, your true nature. Guru Rinpoche

No, but you will probably go round and round in ever-decreasing circles.

Beginner mind

Post by master of puppets »

If you don't mind;
the chaos and the chaotic mind,

If you don't mind;
bad and the bad people,

If you don't mind;
not knowing of facing what in the long run that you can easily become anything,

welcome to the practice
that you are not a buddha



If you mind;
the good and whatever the good; the innocent, the success, the good luck, health, the truth, long live, peace, joy, happiness... etc. etc

welcome to the practice
that you can become a buddha


One more thing;
If you're practicing
don't mind whatever comes
and have anything at all


that my experience is life is to short to mind everything!..

a goal and a practice in the beginning,
then only a line of living
same for everything

I wish not anyone miss the opportunity to live
these beauty of life while alive and have
the chance to practice

what do you think??

For a zen student it is not important of what is what.

For an advanced it is called enlightenment.

I think this is in accordance with Ajahn Sumedho's:
Meditation is a skillful letting go; gently but with resolution.
