Shifting: The open window


Shifting perception,
samsara becomes nirvana.

The eight consciounesses
become the five wisdoms.

Mind and buddha are
one and the same.

The mountain of selflessness


Climbing to the summit
and leaving pieces
of ego behind.

And then coming down,
trying not to
pick them up again.

Up and down
the mountain of mind
time after time.

The cross of Self

Coming down
from the cross
of ignorance
and suffering

it seemed
difficult.

But in fact,
there was
never
anybody
up there.


Even
the cross
was just
an illusion.

Only

mind.

The wall and the breach


When there is someone
with something to say,
the wall is strong.

When there is nobody
when the words come out,
the breach is open.

Freedom: To cling or not to cling


Perceiving,
sensing,
thinking.

In fact,
nothing but
empty clarity.

Seeing how
clinging
works.

Just
flowing.

Silence: Nothing to say


It looks like the master of silence
took over the mind,
and now he doesn´t
know what to say.

Or maybe the mind
is just silent.

Dual mind: Binary




One

Zero

Self

Not Self

Free

Fettered

Samsara

Nirvana

The same old coin

with two faces.

Insert coin

and play or...

THROW THE COIN AWAY

Pagoda


In between heaven and earth,

the pagoda of ordinary mind

is shining in the darkness

of confused mind.

The movement of mind



Sometimes,
the mind dwells in peace,
and thoughts flow freely.

Sometimes,
it doesn´t.

Mind and mountain


Images.

Sometimes they are part of our experience.

The mind shapes the mountain.

The mountain shapes the mind.

Mind and mountain are one.
