[NondualitySalon] free and easy

Xanma (AT) aol (DOT) comfree and easy:a spontaneous song of indestructible

wisdomby Gen'dün Rinpochehappiness is not to be found through great

effort and willpowerit is already present in open relaxation and

letting godon't strainthere's nothing to do or to undowhatever

momentarily and adventitiously arises in body-mindhas no real import

at allhas very little reality at allwhy identify with it and become

attached to it,passing judgement on it and on yourself and others?far

better simplyto just let the entire game happen on its ownspringing up

and falling back again like waveswithout 'rectifying' or manipulating

thingsjust noticing how everything vanishesand then magically

reappears, again and again and againtime without endit's only our

searching for happinessthat prevents us from seeing itlike a vivid

rainbow one runs after but can never catchor a dog chasing its own

tailthough peace and happiness have no existenceas some actual place

or thingthey are forever at hand -one's constant companion at every

instantjust don't be taken in by the apparent realityof good and bad

experiencesthey're like today's passing weatherlike rainbows in the

skywanting to grasp the ungraspableyou exhaust yourself in vainbut as

soon as you open up and relax the tight fist of graspinginfinite space

is right there - open, inviting, comfortableuse this spaciousness -

this freedom and natural easedon't look anywhere elsedon't go off

into the tangled junglesearching for the elephant of great

awakenednesswhen he is already at homequietly resting in front of

your own hearththere's nothing to do or to undonothing to

forcenothing you have to wantnothing missingemaho - how

marvellouseverything just happens of itself
