A Great Thing

“Haven’t you yourself created the mind that thinks up all the illusory conditions? This insight must be perfectly incorporated.”
-Hongzhi
A great thing you can always do: never make anything more important than anything else.
See how you are when you do just this: Let go of every idea about how anything should be and just be silent.
Then get real quiet and witness this fact: You are only aware of a thought after it has disappeared. What is the significance of that? Realize that when something is bothering you, or is not how you want it to be, you are clinging to non-existent thoughts.
Because awareness is inherently peaceful… When you are aware of your mind, there will not be, indeed cannot be, any disturbing thoughts. Which is nothing short of the greatest thing ever.
