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.
