Behind My Hand

bhAvaSUnyasad bhAvasusthitih / bhAvanAbalAd bhaktiruttamA // A supreme Bhakti arises because of strength of meditation, an excellent state of Being which is devoid of appearances.  (Upadesa Saram v. 9, trans. MWright)

Alone, In Bliss, Uncontaminated.

Dharma comes from mind Mind comes from dharma Relative in the absolute Absolute in the relative.

An old Zen adage states: “With regard to religion, most practitioners chew on the menu rather than eat the food.” 

Brain fades, Chattering mind relents. An inadvertent bonus.

Neither beginning nor end  Neither outside nor inside  Not even in-between.  A transformation into objects. All Dharmas come from mind. (a sprig of Zen Wisdom) Dharmas from Mind Greeting Card by HereZen See other greeting card templates on zazzle.co.uk

The saints, saviors, priests, gurus,  bhagavans , seers, prophets and philosophers were all wrong, as far as I am concerned. As long as you harbor any hope or faith in these authorities, living or dead, so long this certainty cannot be transmitted to you. This certainty somehow dawns on you when you see for yourself that all of them are wrong. When you see all this for yourself for the first time, you explode. That explosion hits life at a point that has never been touched before. It is absolutely unique. So whatever I may be saying cannot be true for you. The moment you see it for yourself you make what I am saying obsolete and false. All that came before is negated in that fire. You can't come into your own uniqueness unless the whole of human experience is thrown out of your system. It cannot be done through any volition or the help of anything. Then you are on your own. - U. G. Krishnamurti in "Mind is a Myth"
