Jianzhi offers some practical advice

To come directly into harmony with this reality just simply say when doubt arises, 'Not two.'

In this 'no two' nothing is separate, nothing excluded.

No matter when or where, enlightenment means entering this truth.

And this truth is beyond extension or diminution in time or space; in it a single thought is ten thousand years.

My regurgitated offering:

When there is no doubt, not even one.

Complete Faith in Mind

In the world today there is so much talk. Is it enough to just simply act out impulses, believing what others say as a means to transcend?

Linji also said, “ Your eyes radiate a light that shines through the mountains and rivers.” The ancients were so compassionate, yet people today don’t take it to heart, so they need to look for someone to find certainty.

This brought such joy to my heart.

In Zen do we not transcend because we have never descended? I get the sense that Zen can be thought as saying 'you're already saved! So don't sweat it!'

No saving, no saved, no saviour. Saved, saving and saviour.

Zen masters don't fuck around, maybe you shouldn't either.

Step back.

Can you help me turn around?
