You are a small part of the universe. How can another small part make you complete?
The line you have drawn between you and the rest of the universe is Ego. When that line vanishes, you become complete.
Shunya
Silently and serenely one forgets all words;
Hung Chih (1091-1157)
clearly and vividly That appears before you.
When one realizes it, it is vast and without edges;
in Essence, one is clearly aware.
Singularly reflecting is this bright awareness,
full of wonder is this pure reflection.

To be truly awakened is actually very ordinary. It just means that you are here as the trees are here. You’re here as the flowers are here. That’s all it is. You’re here, rather than lost in a world of not here. As you relax and deepen into the present moment, no matter how ordinary it appears to be, then slowly and gently the deeper levels of Presence will open up…

The wind in the pines plays a subtle
Non-Effort
song, of which I have become
effortlessly aware.
I did not compose it, I do not perform it;
yet it simply is as it is.
Nor do I strain to be aware of it.
It just is as it has always been.
The music, strangely, is as bright as
My Self-lit interior.
If I tried to compose it or
perform it, I could not do so.
If I strained to become aware of it,
it would surely die and fade away.

Every single thought, idea, feeling, image and story that once crossed my mind has come and gone leaving no trace but unreliable memory.

We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality. We are that reality. When you understand this, you see that you are nothing, and being nothing, you are everything. That is all.

The realisation that there is nothing to be done but recognise what is already completely and vividly evident.
