  Introspection

  Back to a serious one, I imagine different people can get different things out of this one. So for what it's worth here it is.. This may be me last message here too - for a while anyway. So ta ta for now...

  I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the Temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.

  I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.

  I questioned the scholars and philosophers, but He was beyond their understanding.

  I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He was nowhere else to be found.

  People in the world cannot
  identify their own mind.
  They believe that what
  they see, or hear, or feel,
  or know, is mind.
  They are blocked by the visual,
  the auditory, the tactile, and the mental,
  so they cannot see the
  brilliant spirit of their
  Original Mind.

  Thus we see that the all-important thing is not killing or giving life, drinking or not drinking, living in the town or the country, being lucky or unlucky, winning or losing. It is how we win, how we lose, how we live or die; finally, how we choose. We walk, and our religion is shown (even to the dullest and most insensitive person), in how we walk. Living in this world means choosing, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself. —R. H. Blyth

  Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter. —Longchenpa(14th century

  Introspection

  You live in illusion and in the appearance of things. There is a Reality. You are the Reality. But you do not know it. If you wake up to that Reality, you will know that you are nothing, and, being nothing, you are everything. That is all.
