What is the GREAT Mystery?

Faith in Mind

This blog continues with the study of Faith in Mind and is linked to the www.thetenperfections.blogspot.com page. The study of the Ten Perfections ties to the study of equanimity.

Please continue or jump right in with the study of the following text.

Attaining the Way is not difficult, just avoid picking and choosing.

If you have neither aversion nor desire, you'll thoroughly understand.

A hair's breath difference is the gap between heaven and earth.

If you want it to come forth, let there be no positive and negative, for such comparisons are a sickness of the mind.

Without knowing the Great Mystery, quiet practice is useless.

The great perfection is the same as vast space, lacking nothing, nothing extra.

Due to picking up and discarding, you will not know it.

Don't chase the conditioned nor abide in forbearing emptiness.

In singular equanimity the self is extinguished.

The Way...perfect...lacking nothing, nothing extra

This teaching is saying this over and over again. Do you see it?
A new audio is up....The Way It Is.....

Fresh nonthinking

At ease...waking up is easy, fresh breath, fresh eyes, fresh ears, fresh smell, fresh walk, fresh touch, fresh mind...

The Way is easy without the stale thoughts of conditioning.

Where Do You Turn?

Snails by Eduardo Galeano

For assistance we turn to gods, devils (television, food, smokes, drugs, sex, wandering, talking, prestige, money, status) and the stars in the sky. We don't consult snails.

Please lsiten to the audio The Snail.

Consider what you do? Where you turn?

Attaining the Way is not difficult, just avoid picking and choosing.

Please re-write this sentence in your own words, trusting in faith and heart-mind. Please do not overthink, or figure the meaning...rather express the teaching in your own words. Thank you.
