Human beings come into this world empty handed and go empty handed.

When you are born, where do you come from?

When you die, where do you go?

Are you clear about that?

Life is like a floating cloud which appears; death is like a floating cloud which disappears.

The floating cloud itself originally does not exist.

Coming, going, life and death are the same as a floating cloud.

If you attain that, then you attain what it means to be a human being.

 

Human beings are originally nothing.

Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am."

"Thinking"... that's a problem!

If you are thinking, everything appears:

I, My, Me appears, my direction, my condition, my situation--everything appears.

Put it all down, completely put it all down.

Then... nothing.

You must attain "nothing"; that's very important!

If you attain nothing, then your job appears clearly in front of you.

 

Why did you come into this world?

What you do here is your direction.

This must become very clear.

So, becoming clear means moment to moment put it down,

then the bodhisattva way appears in front of you--only help all beings.

Our True Self doesn't have coming or going.

Our True Self is clear like space.

Clear like space means clear like a mirror.

Clear like a mirror means everything is reflected.

Something appears then--BOOM!--reflect.

Then there is no I, My, Me mind.

There isn't any "my" direction.

There is only help, bodhisattva direction.

Moment to moment... how can I help all beings?

That's our correct direction.

Don't Know Why - Norah Jones

 

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine
But you'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
