Right Concentration: Laser

Without right concentration
there is no right VIEW.

Self: The puppet Master

Who is the one
pulling the strings
of your confused mind?

Who is the one
turning your mind
into a puppet ?

Who is this one
hiding behind the veil
of ignorance?

Tea: satori

Use form and ritual
to find the formless
mind.

Now: Here

Space-Time.

Like steps on the sand of space,
vanished by the wind of time.

Here-Now.

Wisdom and Compassion

Let co-emergent wisdom
express as compassion
and satori will show up.

Aggregates and Self

Which one is your SELF?

The sound of emptiness

Hui Neng asked the novice:

Under which bell hides the empty nut?

Karma: Past actions and Future effects

Our actions have non-immediate effects,

which we can call karma.

Karma are the traces of past actions

in the present moment.

Action can only take place now,

at the present moment.

We should not wander in the imaginary past:

we should be aware right NOW.

Consciousness plays around the present moment towards the future:

Awareness is always NOW.

Hell: Confusion and suffering

Confused mind is hell.

Mental disturbances are demons.

Ignorance is the root of suffering.

Dispel the fog of ignorance,

and hell will turn into heaven.

The tree of life

Duality is the quality of the world of action.

Non-duality is the characteristic of the world of emanation.

The essence of mind is beyond duality and non-duality.

Suffering: First Noble Truth

Is internet a source of suffering?

Your Self states: Yes, it is.

Is your Self the root of suffering?

Your Self says: No, I am not.

Who is asking these questions?

Your Self whispers: I am not.

A No-melody appears from nowhere,

and it goes: Clinging, clinging, clinging;

That´s the root of the tree of confusion,

that yields the bitter fruit of suffering.

Fear: Ego

What are you scared of?

Look at the subject who fears.

Is it different from the object of fear?

Is the fearing process distinct from

the subject and object of fear?

Ordinary Mind: freedom

Fettered mind worries about its destiny.

Ordinary mind enjoys flowing.

Should space worry about the fate of clouds?

Should unborn mind worry about the appearance of thoughts?

Pyramidion: Buddha Nature

Compassion: Patience

If you really want to help other people

to abandon suffering

turning confusion into wisdom,

be patient.

Compassion without patience,

is as useless as wisdom

without skilful means

or a car without gas.

Compassion without wisdom

turns into masochism.

Patience without intelligence

turns into permissiveness.

Faith without intelligence

degenerates into fanaticism;

Intelligence without compassion

turns into cunningness.

Supernova: The beginning

Let your old habits explode,

let your old dogmas blast,

and awareness will shine.

Let the old I explode

then the MINE will blast

and satori will show up.

Mushotoku

Selflessness: Unmasking

Take the mask off.

What do you see NOW?

There is not a YOU

Satori: Crossing the river

The mind is fresh and pure,
the water too.

The water is moving,
the mind too.

The rocks are still,
the mind too.

Do not build a bridge
to get to the other shore.

Get into the water,
get wet and see its nature.

Satori is unexpected,
like slipping into the water.

CHOFF

Appearances: Dreamlike

Hui Neng asked himself:

Does the mind go towards the apparent object
or does the apparent object comes to the mind?

And the mountain replied:

Neither does the mind go to the apparent object,
nor does the apparent object comes to the mind.

MU

Utterly releasing: Awareness

The nature of rivers is to flow down, towards the ocean.

The nature of conceptual mind is consciousness.

The nature of rain is to fall down.

The nature of non-conceptual mind is awareness.

Both rivers and clouds are made out of water.

Mind is both conceptual and non-conceptual.

What do you see: consciousness or awareness?
