Dear All,
Perhaps it is a good time to share a little about my journey.
For the first few years, I was mesmerized by the practice, the sutra,
the wisdom, the chi, the witnesses of an enlightened master, etc. In
other words, I absorbed externally to fill up internally. Yes, during
this period, I am attached, excited, confused, curious, etc. etc. It was
wonderful.
Then in the next few years, I could then able to get rid of, replace, or
sort out the abundant concepts, practices which washed, attacked and
suffocated me. Yes, "I am the practice," I thought. I know what is
practice. Practice is everything. Yes, I am practice personified. It
was wonderful.
Then in the next few years, more clarity rises with more synchronicity
to each moment. Sutras and practices became just labels for
convenience. There isn't much left. It was wonderful.
Now, I realized that the "I" is just an effect, while the big "I" is the
cause. In Buddhist terms, we were all driven by karma. It is also
wonderful. Everything is just is.
Thank you for reading this.
