(No subject)

Enlightenment is not the attainment of anything whatsoever: it is

just the removal of a barrier, that of the concept of subject-I,

which inevitably made it appear as enlightenment of 'myself' -

instead of that which is when I am not.' - Wei Wu Wei

 

'A Bodhisattva does not seek to enlighten inexistent 'others':

inexistent as a self, that which he is destroys the illusion

of 'others' as such.' - Wei Wu Wei

 

'No such thing as enlightenment, awakening, satori exists as an

objective fact or event outside time. There is no occurrence in mind

other than the eclipse of the I-notion which impeded see-ing.

Therefore it cannot be studied or worked for. All such action would

be like a surgical operation on an image.

Nothing happens to anyone, nothing is changed, there is no psycho-

somatic event at all; mind is unaffected, it is just the recovery of

clear vision. It has no objective existence; it is a purely

subjective adjustment.

It is entirely noumenal; its existence is intemporal, & it does not

manifest phenomenally. It is a sudden understanding that there is

no 'I' subject to time.' - Wei Wu Wei

 

'There is nothing outside of the mind, nothing which can be worked

on, & nothing to be enlightened' - Han Shan
