No tomorrow, no yesterday. Only This moment. Everything exists in the aliveness of this moment. And this aliveness is all that we have. There is no other moment than this one, so what we do in it is all that matters. How we behave now. What we do no. When we recognize the bare nakedness of this moment it becomes much easier to determine what to do. When we ourselves are exposed to our own vulnerability, the ever-nearness of death will will put more emphasis on what truly matters. Taking care of things now. Taking care of each other now. The Dharma is alive in this moment. It shows us what to do with our time. Through the Dharma we learn to give ourselves fully to others, to be present with things as they arise, to feel deeply, and to act decisively. It is a blade that ever cuts deeper into the heart of things. It reveals the true nature of things exposing us to all of our weaknesses and shortcomings. It is the heart of the world, and it gives live to all things, for it's life is ours. The Dharma is the living unity of manifestation.
There truly are no separate objects, forms, or lives. There is but One life and One form: One being. It is single. All forms are this One form. All things this One thing. Things appear different, but they are not. They are single. Their is but One. What we see, this, is it. There is but One life and One experience. These are a single expression arising here and now. Their are not many paths then, but One. Not many ways, but One. One way forward, no way back. One direction, One feeling, One being. The Dharma shows us and is this path, this awakening Truth. It is the truth of eating rocks, and when we see through all things, we will see through Mountains.
A Mountain is a very good place to stand. A mountain is unmoving like truth and it is in both the Earth and the Sky. It points towards the Way for all to see. It is a challenge that tests us. When it bears a forest it will cool us and remind us of our community with all living things. From the mountain top, we can see far. We can see how things lie together and where we might go. A mountain shows us that things are much closer than we often believe and that all things are connected through the sky. As big as the Earth is, the sky is much greater.
When we have greater perspective, we can see more clearly. The Dharma gives us the greatest perspective into ourselves and into the nature of things. From the Dharma we see ourselves and the nature of things most clearly. We know who we are and what is what. So great is the Dharma that we can see everything and know everything. For from the Dharma we see that self-nature is the true nature of all form. That our own body goes through Earth and Sky being both and as both One emancipated Light. Our roots are deep, and our peak is high. We stand tall as Dharma Mountains and we see far. We know much, we hear much, and we feel everything.
