“If you can perceive calmly, you will penetrate the hidden essence and penetrate all time. As it is said, “When psychology has no influence on perception, the ultimate power remains, serving as a guide in all places.” -Pai-chang
On living, everything you need is revealed in the silent observation of daily activities.
Pulling on socks, loading up a fork-load of food, shelving dishes, reaching for a light switch… Your foot stayed on the brake pedal because, when the light changed to green, the car in front of you didn’t move.
Awareness, which is always present, is our true teacher.

“Just be aware; that is all you have to do, without condemnation, without forcing, without trying to change what you are aware of.” -Krishnamurti
