Morning meditation — The timeless the truth of enlightenment.
‘Sunyatā: The born — the temporal — and the unborn — the timeless the truth of enlightenment — of the Buddha’s own discourses.’
Lucid Exposition of the Middle Way
Morning meditation — Becoming and Nirvana.
‘Becoming and Nirvana — neither of these is existent; the complete understanding of becoming may be called Nirvana.’
Arya Nagarjuna
Morning meditation — All beings also are recipients of the unthinkable concentration.
‘Sariputra, it is because this concentration is unthinkable that it does not exist and is not apprehended. Nevertheless, Sariputra, not anyone is not a recipient of the unthinkable concentration, but all beings also are recipients of the unthinkable concentration.’
Manjusri
Prajnaparamita
Morning meditation — Self and Buddha are synonymous.
‘Those who seek for the Tathagata should seek for the self. For ‘self’ and ‘Buddha’ are synonymous.’
Manjusri
Prajnaparamita
Morning meditation — Depending upon these manifestations of the mind.
‘The error in these erroneous teachings that are generally held by the philosophers lies in this: they do not recognise that the objective world rises from the mind itself; they do not understand that the whole mind-system also arises from the mind itself.’
The Buddha
Morning meditation — Enlightenment is just the same thing as this Manjusri.
‘If I had set out for enlightenment, then I would wish to fully know it. But I do not strive after enlightenment, because enlightenment is just the same thing as this Manjusri, the Crown Prince.’
Prajnaparamita
Morning meditation — When mental processes arise.
‘When mental processes arise, all dharmas [things] spring forth; when mental processes cease, all dharmas cease likewise.’
