this being is a buddha

This being is a buddha

This is the most absurd statement a human being can make, and at the same time it is the most truthful, the most profound, the deepest.

Of course, in its absurdity it is easy to tear apart. It is a statement made in words, for starters, and being – that is our buddha nature – is not of words at all. It is what is here when the words have ceased. It is the presence that exists behind words. And when we are not speaking and when our head is not full of thoughts, we are this, and we can be this.

I use the word buddha but this has nothing to do with religion. This has nothing to do with social organisation of any sort. This is a moment of consciousness, a moment of spaciousness, without any boundary. It is an energy. It is the essence of life. Yes, this being is a buddha. 

And now it is time for you to find the buddha in you. And if you want some hints as to where to look, look inside in your moments of aloneness. Find moments of silence and stillness. This is the way to woo the buddha, the buddha within yourself.

Enjoy the dance. It is the most beautiful, the most blissful, the greatest gift.
