‘Observing these changes — these never- ceasing transformations — you know that you must perish. But do you also know that when you perish, something in you does not perish with you?’
Surangama Sutra
Mahayana

In dealing with others, fairness is paramount; in self-reflection, sincerity is crucial.
Morning meditation — By nature, desire is like empty space.
‘By nature, desire is like empty space, Divorced from anything established. Because of false discrimination, though, The defilement of desire plagues the ignorant.’
The Buddha
What is the Desire-Image Samadhi?
Although those who fear desire
Rack their brains seeking liberation from it,
It remains forever intrinsically pure.
Morning meditation — In consequence a perception of the Path will no longer occur to him.
‘In consequence a perception of the Path will no longer occur to him — how much less will he see the Path! “One who has finished with the Path”, that is a synonym of a monk who is an Arhat whose outflows are extinct.’
The Buddha
Morning meditation —Having the resolve of awareness.
‘Princely people,
Having the resolve of awareness,
Understood what it means,
And that very moment
Was the instant of the ending of time for them.’
The Great Tantra of Vajrasattva
Morning meditation — Furthermore, all ways of earning a living and all arts.
‘Furthermore, all ways of earning a living and all arts and crafts are the form and functioning of this bright universal wisdom. There is no distinction whatsoever.’
