Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 "What we call 'I' is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale." "When you do something, you should burn yourself completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself." ~Shunryu Suzuki~ Each and every night i am Breathed In, into some Mysterious Satsangh in the Heart. Not my Heart alone, not Your Heart alone, but into the Great Magnetic Center of OneHeart. As OneBeing we exhale and are Zazen, Wall, Hai and Mu. When our God-Light made Love so intensely, so excitedly with ItSelf through you and i, the Sublime Shout that scattered out in Joy, across this idea of time and space, It was reality in Bliss, as Love. Each time we uttered these sacred sounds - Shivallah, Shivallah, Shivallah, the Sea rose in Rapturous Response, and the Sky broke open in Radiant, rivers of Light. The crash and roar of Aum swept away hours of time. Then, speaking to You, answering a question about rocks, i said, "When i see it, i will know i have found it." We bowed our heads together, and looking at One Point, The Buddha stared up at us with Eyes narrowed in Serenity. "It is wisdom which is seeking for wisdom." "To polish a stone, when you become you, Zen becomes Zen. When you are you, you see things as they are, and you become one with your surroundings." The sun, even if it were to rise from the west, the Bodhisattva has only one way. LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when I'm ready, will I leave the beach.
