The field of boundless emptiness is what exists from the beginning. You must purify, cure, grind down, or brush away all the tendencies you have fabricated into apparent habits. Then you can reside in the circle of brightness. Utter emptiness has no image, upright independence does not rely on anything. Just expand and illluminate the original truth unconcerned by external conditions.
Hongzhi Zhengjue

Look past the body, past the personality, past the behavior, into the window of one another's souls. There we make a connection. The God in me recognizes and honors the God in you.
Mary Manin Morrissey

Why are you so afraid of silence, silence is the root of everything. If you spiral into its void a hundred voices will thunder messages you long to hear.
Rumi
