Leseprobe

In inner silence, in the stillness of the heart, the light of the wisdom of all Buddhas shines forth.

This perfect, all-pervading Buddha-mind is without obstacles, immeasurable, vast and boundless. Free of all existential form, it is omnipresent in the entire universe. It is timeless eternity and is aware of itself as brightly shining light, brighter than a thousand suns.

Immerse yourself in your innermost being and return to this divine source of your true being.

When you experience your true self as being completely one with the self of all beings, you hold the pure seal of the Buddha Dharma in your hand.

In the midst of the spiritual delusion of this world, you live in vivacious awareness and beyond all differentiation in the enlightening wisdom of non-duality. You live in harmony with heaven and earth and pass through birth and death as if through an open gate.

Devotion to the Eternal is when you become inwardly empty, open and transparent to transcendence. When all of a sudden the constant flow of thinking ceases, your original, true being is revealed to you brightly and clearly.

Our discriminating, conceptual thinking must therefore remain silent if we wish to hear the divine Word that speaks itself in the innermost depths of our heart.

This silence in the face of the infinite is an inner process of emptying oneself and then becoming imbued with the all-pervading fullness of divine presence.

When you hear the news of someone‘s death, you should always realise that your life is also fleeting and you will die with absolute certainty. Only the time of your death is uncertain.

This inescapable certainty should inspire you to stop wasting your time with worldly trivialities and to make even greater efforts on the spiritual path. So live your life in such a way that you can die in the next moment without regret.

Turn your consciousness inwards and do not deviate from the clear self-awareness of your mind – your immortal, true essential nature.

This essential realisation of unity with the divine One Mind will become your protective shell at the moment of death.

But without having prepared yourself for death in this way during your life and wanting to make up for it quickly at the moment of death is like quickly digging a well when your house is already burning and on fire.

When we are out in nature, it is completely unnecessary to define the birds, flowers and trees with our autonomous urge of conceptual labelling.
