Te-Shan said:
Even to plumb the full depths of all your knowledge it would be no more than a piece of hair lost in the vastness of the great void; and however important your experience in things worldly it is even less than a single drop of water cast into a vast valley.
I say, don't rely on books, magic, technology, understanding.
Becoming clear and independent has nothing to do with accumulation and knowledge.
It is a matter of the heart. First get the root right, then all the outgrowths will be just the functioning of the mind unobstructed by the poisons of greed, anger and delusion.
The spark of zen happens in an instant of unknowing, of dropping all the bullshit you carry around with you, mistaking it for treasure.
Be sincere, be diligent, if you really want to know the way out from the suffering deluded mind, turn around and go right through all the pain, all the conditioning, all the shit and come to see your own true mind; without rank, without marks, completely open and aware.
I hope you all awaken to the truth of your nature, to the truth of reality.
It is beautiful and miraculous in such a mundane way.
I leave you to it, you must be completely thorough for yourself, don't seek from another, turn and step back with Faith and trust in your own mind.
Peace be with you.
