Bio
Know all things to be like this:
a mirage, a cloud castle,
a dream, an apparition,
without essence, but with qualities that can be seen.

Know all things to be like this:
as the moon in a bright sky
in some clear lake reflected,
Though to that lake the moon has never moved.

Know all things to be like this:
as an echo that derives
from music, sounds, and weeping,
Yet in that echo is no melody.

Know all things to be like this:
As a magician makes illusions
Of horses, oxen,carts, and other things,
Nothing is as it appears.

Contemplation of this dreamlike quality of reality need not in any way make us cold, hopless, or embittered. on the contrary, it can open up in us a warm humor, a soft, strong, compassion we hardly knew we possessed, and so more and more generosity towards all things and beings."


"Not relying on the words and letters,
Teachings are transmitted outside the Scriptures;
Pointing directly into one's mind,
One then can see into his own nature and attains Buddhahood."
