" "Once inspired, neither heaven nor earth can be more find. Once you reach this place, eternity is illuminated: how could there be something given by the Buddha?
If you want to achieve this fully, you need to let go around. Do not try even the realm of Buddhahood or Zen mastery. Still less should have love for yourself or hatred for others. Without giving rise to any conceptualization look directly: there is something that has no skin or flesh, her body is like space with no specific shape or color. It's like pure water, perfectly clear. Empty and clear, it is simply being aware of everything.
How to explain this principle?
The water is clear until deep;
glows without the need to clean it. "
Everything is left to go. There is nothing to hold: surrender, surrender. Retaining means fear is leaving freedom. Hold it close, leave it open. Hold is stress, leave it off. Hold and tension leave is calm. To withhold is to separate, leave it to merge. Everything is illuminated, everything is full of eternity, there is no distinction, no high or low. There is no heaven and earth, there is no samsara and nirvana. Everything is already here, present. What to look for the Buddha? What the Buddha would add to this fact, this incontrovertible reality? You want to hold your place in that makes you escape to the Buddha, it is your absence from reality. Make distinctions between you and what you want to be, between you and the others. Then try certain things, escape from other, you want to improve the situation, you want to avoid certain conditions. Make the Buddhist Zen interests you, and so on.
Yet it is not a knowledge, this is not a thought. It is something else: a "look into". When you let go, as you can not look directly? You are immersed in the reality in its authenticity, unpredictable in its truth, the barriers are gone. You are abandoned entirely. This is not about techniques, new knowledge, books, practice. There is nothing complicated: it is indeed the easiest thing there is, what should be more natural, more immediate. It is the abandonment of any plan, any loophole, any instrumentalism. There is no exercise of will be put in place, not a try and win something. It is just the opposite: it is out of the cage of our will, out of our need and you must not, by our good and bad, our appeals to me and I do not like. In the sense that there is another possibility: that being is clear, empty, clear as water, is available as a lake when a stone is thrown. Reactivity have been abandoned, neglected the desires of revenge, the self-centered achievements. How many weights, how many weights, but useless ...
is so obvious it all! If you do not understand it now, not serve to convince some other stupid words. If you do not understand it now, all the sutras of the world will serve only as a psychological comfort, we run the guru of the moment to cover our gaps, etc.. As long as I delight to add more material to my wealth of experience, I will continue to live by my usual toys to beautiful soul by stacking filters or replace filters on each other. Here, in fact: the zen of which we speak is another matter. You do not need to clean the water, already so beautiful. There is something that is beyond the artifice, of our attempts to understand, the highest of thoughts: what is referred to experience. It is one thing to hear, beyond the shape and color. It's the crack of a tile in the movement of an arm in a random word, in making a cover, ... "It is simply being aware of everything."
awareness opens, put in an attitude of availability, is in line with the 'let go'. In the practice of meditation can be understood very well go hand in hand. Awareness and abandonment: abandonment awareness without risk of falling into a sterile exercise of concentration and closing abandoned without awareness leads to lethargy, mental all'obnubilamento, the vagueness, unconsciousness. So: awareness and openness, awareness and abandonment, awareness and clearing. The rest is denial, denial, opposition, stiffness, strength. It is essentially a lack of love. "
