By knowing
that this self-arising
pristine awareness
is buddhahood itself,
you will free yourself,
when in doubt,
from the obstacle
of hoping to obtain something
in the future.

I find humor in this, though I don't know if it was meant to be funny. For sure it is an interesting piece, and it made me think about what doubt and knowing mean.
ReplyDeleteIs it the "when in doubt" part that you find humorous?
ReplyDeleteLove this quote...awareness is closer than thought, inescapable and unlosable...who needs the future? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDiane, it seems that Colleen has pointed out for us that the knowing-of-awareness is "closer" than the doubting-of-thought. Thanks, Colleen!
ReplyDeleteWho needs the future??? "Seekers" think or feel that they do, in order to find "something" that is not already the case.
