The Sun Does Not Rise or Set
The Unbounded Field of Awareness
Jax's Message
Fully Experience All-Is-Mind by Realizing No-Mind and Conditionality
To find a buddha, all you have to do is see your nature. Your nature is the buddha. And the buddha is the person who's free, free of plans, free of cares. If you don't see your nature and run around all day looking somewhere else, you'll never find a buddha. The truth is there's nothing to find. Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Even if you have mountains of jewels and as many servants as there are grains of sand along the Ganges, you see them when your eyes are open. But what about when your eyes are shut? You should realize that everything you see is like a dream or illusion.

Buddha is Sanskrit for what you call aware, miraculously aware.
Responding, perceiving, arching your brows, blinking your eyes, moving
your hands and feet, it's all your miraculously aware nature. And this
nature is the mind. And the mind is the buddha. And the buddha is the
path. And the path is zen. But the word zen is one that remains a puzzle
to both mortals and sages. Seeing your nature is zen. Unless you see
your nature, it's not zen.
