Although those who fear desire
Rack their brains seeking liberation from it,

Morning meditation — Those who cross this teeming sea.
‘Those who cross this teeming sea, hard with mighty waves.
Wisdom’s theirs the holy life lived, world’s end reached, gone beyond.’
Samyutta
Morning meditation — All things are Buddha-things.
‘“All things are Buddha-things.” And why? Because what was preached by the Tathāgata, O Subhūti, as all things, that was preached as no-things; and therefore all things are called Buddha-things.’

‘I appear in the midst of the activities of all sentient beings without leaving the presence of all the Buddhas.’
Avalokiteshvara
