Mere words fail. The flapping of thoughts, shuffling of concepts, stilled by relingquishment. Such relief, calm, equanimity and the still silence of emptiness. I find comfort and frankly, companionship in your narration. Thank you.
Thank you and I'm glad you found this channel. There is a unique kind of companionship in this simple insight. At once, you see through the eyes of all the sages and mystics throughout history. "Those who have passed the barrier are able not only to see Jôshû face to face but also to walk hand in hand with the whole descending line of patriarchs and be eyebrow to eyebrow with them. You will see with the same eye that they see with, hear with the same ear that they hear with. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful joy! Isn’t there anyone who wants to pass this barrier?" -- Mumonkan, Case 1: Joshu's Dog, Master Mumon's commentary.
