Oneness With Nature

Ocean's tides sweep over sand
We rest in the open palm
Of Nature's hand

~C. Alexander Simpkins~

Change

For a long time now I have not been taking my place as a man along with the process of change. And if I do not take my place as a man with the process of change, how can I hope to change other men?

Silence is Thunder

The Zen masters all proclaim that there is no enlightment whatever which you can claim to have attained. If you sau you have attained something, this is the surest proof that you have gone astray. Therefore, not to have is to have; silence is thunder.

Attain The Unattainable

Subhuti asked the Buddha, "World-Honored One, is the highest, most fulfilled, awakened mind that the Buddha attained the unattainable?"

The Buddha said, "That is right Subhuti. Regarding the most fulfilled, awakened mind, I have not attained anything. That is why it is called the highest, most fulfilled, awakened mind."

The School of Aryadeva

The school of Aryadeva is so hard to analyze.
Snow piled up in a silver bowl.
Who could have said it better than that?
The same wind blows across earth,
Mountains, rivers;
It leaves all human and heavenly
Realms refreshed, pure
