“Mind, continual source of meanings, is like the sky:
The sky is Mind, genuine meaningfulness,
Without duality, complete and identical with itself —
Understand it thoroughly straight away.”
~ Longchenpa
Excerpt from Now That I Have Come to Die, p. 47
My favorite part is “understand it thoroughly straight away” The only way I can do that is to feel it and let go of trying to understand it, at the same time claiming the understanding. I like that the implication is there that the reader can indeed understand it thoroughly straight away.
