Listening to the songs of the mind
Distracts one from What-Is,
Life.
Those with clear sight know this.
The mind may continue on, but
It has lost its hold on them.

Wu Hsin

Others believe that
Wu Hsin has what they lack.
Wu Hsin laughs at this.

The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin
(Roy Melvyn)

- Wu Hsin

Use the mind to attain the
Point of understanding that
The answer is not in the mind.

Wu Hsin

- The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

Existence already includes nonexistence.

Alan Watts

“I don’t know” sounds like an ending but is actually always the best
place to start...

Transcendence is not
The disappearance of the transcended.
It is the natural refusal to
Attend to the transcended.

Wu Hsin

Wu Hsin

Deep wisdom is not derived from experience.
It is derived from seeing clearly
The limitations of experience.

- The Lost Writings of Wu Hsin

The way things arise is the same as before;
the crucial difference is in their release.

~ Patrul Rinpoche

Ah, now I understood the thought already by myself. Thanks!

... right up untill it isn't [doing] what?
I can't grasp the meaning here.

Painfully accurate

When looking at the notion of enlightenment, the possibility of becoming completely awake, the only method that can lead us to that state of total wakefulness is the practice of loving-kindness and compassion.

Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche

Finally, practicing absolute bodhicitta,
Realize that whatever arises is the display of dharmakaya,
The primordial nature, unbroken simplicity.
Without clinging, whatever arises is naturally freed.
In the great equal taste without rejecting or accepting,
Continue on.

~ Shechen Rabjam

The Great Perfection is not a fashion. And people who look for fashions are not attracted by the Great Perfection.

Emptiness,
Silence,
Stillness.
This is not a void to be feared but
A sanctuary to be sought.

Wu Hsin

Flow around obstacles.
Don’t confront them, unless
The obstacle is oneself.

Wu Hsin

Silence is not an absence of sound.
Silence is the absence of you.

Wu Hsin

The need for time is
The need for practice.
The time bound can never
Yield the timeless.

Wu Hsin

Striving for betterment is merely a subtle form of control, to control the quality of the experiences that come.

It is always that which we seek to control that ultimately controls us.

Therefore, in so doing, we merely provide reinforcement to the prison doors.

Wu Hsin

Yeshe Tsogyal said to Urgyen Rinpoche:

“What is the most wondrous of all dharmas?” she asked. “Bodhichitta is the greatest,” he answered. “What is the greatest vehicle of all dharma?” she asked. “Having great compassion is the greatest,” he replied.

[Enlightenment is] the end of being pushed around by the mind. It’s the mind becoming a servant instead of a master. […]

You can use the mind without living inside it. That's the whole path.

Damien Echols

To put it in another way: in the long run you can't win against someone who isn't afraid to lose.
🙃

Presence doesn’t mean abandoning the world. It means moving through the world without being consumed by it.

One is not born with an identity.
Identity is acquired.
In the absence of all acquisitions,
True being shines.

Wu Hsin

Seeking ends when the fish
Understand the folly of
Searching for the ocean.

Wu Hsin

All methods bind.
Those who are free
Hold to no system,
No regimen.

Wu Hsin

What you seek is so near you, that there really is no room for a way. Most insist that isn't enough.
