On the Transmission of Mind (Huangbo)
The Master said: Only when your minds cease dwelling upon anything whatsoever will you come to an understanding of the true way of Zen.
I may express it thus - the way of the Buddhas flourishes in a mind utterly freed from conceptual thought processes, while discrimination between this and that gives birth to a legion of demons!
Finally, remember that from first to last not even the smallest grain of anything perceptible [Graspable, attainable, tangible, etc.] has ever existed or ever will exist
T. O. M's comment.
I cannot attain or grasp anything, because there isn't an "I" that endures for long enough to grasp or attain.
I only have a process, a life lived, an experience, and when I am fully engaged in the process of life, I feel more whole..
If i engage fully with life, it is more of a letting go, than a grasping.. A process of being with however the world is at this moment, of not wanting it to be different..
Peace.
