"Now instead of wondering how to get it, or trying to understand it or to analyze it, the essential thing is to take a resolute plunge into death, to give up one's body and life itself. It means to cut off all our discriminating fancies at the root and source." - Takashina Rosen
Can't we
Just before we grab it by the neck and throttle the purity out of it
Before we despoil and pillage this present moment
Before we release the hounds of our senses and all their baying yammer
Can't we just be, here and now, unspoiled and pristine,
Always already awakened, at peace, simple keepers of the stupa?
"It is a fact that anyone, if he devotes himself wholeheartedly to spiritual meditation without wavering, reaches the supreme state." - Takashina Rosen
