SHIN JIN MEI | 信心銘- DAY THIRTEEN

"Transformations going on in an empty world which confronts us
Appear real all because of Ignorance:
Try not to seek after the true,
Only cease to cherish opinions
."

When we are focused on the concepts created by the factions of small mind, there is a connecting-the-dots exercise to construct a reality out of nothingness. We settle for this facsimile of reality because of the ignorance of our true nature. We paint grand ideologies and peddle and protect them religiously as truth - glossing over the true way that is always directly before us, waiting to manifest until we drop our cherished opinions.

Just end picking and choosing and the present moment opens completely, transcending true and false.
