When you see reality
you will know that you are nothing
and in being nothing,
you are everything.
--Kalu Rinpoche
If that's so, then
WHAT! IS! THIS!?
You know, I woke up today and the altar meant nothing. The spiritual world seemed to have faded. I could only see this looming vulnerability, this overwhelmed-little-girlness.
Then, in yoga--feeling digested and destroyed--I realized that yes, the spiritual is not "out there"--not anything to do with altars. The spiritual is actually right here. There is no "Dharma" in this mind state, because Dharma has drawn close, and there is only one blazing eye filling the field of view. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot be seen; lessons cannot be remembered. Not because they have ceased to exist, but because they are so close in. They are inside; they are experience itself.
This is Dharma-without-idea. Just pure feeling.
