The Light is not our light or your light or my light
I recently am memorizing the phrase, "Do not suppose that what you realize becomes your knowledge or is grasped by your consciousness." A very helpful reminder to realize the light is not me or mine or yours or ours...it is ungraspable, unowned, not up to me to cook up or spark...it is there right in the middle of the muddy waters of every day tasks and thought and feelings. This is ggenerosity....ever-present light...

Awareness
Sometimes we forget what we are doing? We forget what this situation is? I forget. I forget and stop seeing the true nature of this realm. I think and start believing my thoughts. I get into my wishes and fears and tumble into the ditch. Then I get back up and take another look. And brush the dirt off, clear my vision again and sigh alitte. Yes, I see. I see the law of impermanence. I see the suffering arising from grasping and pushing. I see the benefits of liberation. I see the preciousness of seeing. I see the actions of cause and effect. What are you aware of? What do you see?
