SHIN JIN MEI | 信心銘- DAY THIRTY-ONE

"There is nothing left behind,
There is nothing retained.
All is void, lucid, and self-illuminating;"

It is such irony that worldly wisdom has us chasing after a happiness that is more elusive the harder it is sought. It constantly longs after experiences considered exotic and is forever looking for some new novel form of entertainment. If we can set this false wisdom aside and wake up to this present moment, we find that there is nothing lacking.

Here, we experience fully and lucidly - as self and other are transcended. This interconnectedness is self-illuminating - it is devoid of delusional concepts.
