Do not go after the past,
Do not lose yourself in the future.
For the past no longer exists,
And the future is not yet here.
By looking deeply at things just as they are,
In this moment, here and now,
The seeker... continue...

IT IS THUS
Posted on Sep.25.2009 @ 06:02AM EDT by chontri

When a flower appears before it, it reflects the flower.
When a bee appears before it, it reflects the bee.
When an empty space appears before it, it reflects the empty space.
When nothing appears before it, it reflects nothing.
It is itself. No trace left on it. It is thus.
