“the thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

[an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

Everything we perceive is wrapped in our karma, our relativity.

In truth, it has always been a buddha-field, a pure land.

In that way everything that arises is the inherent path, which by its very nature, we can never be separated from.

The absolute awakens within samsara into perfect union.

“As to the essence of the Buddha-dharma…while all the pure ones together dwell (in a realm or state of mind) not subject to name-and-form, still they accord with conditioning causes in order to benefit all beings.”
