LIFE JUST IS

Life on the practical level does not contain any subtle philosophy or 
subtle mystical experience. It just is. If we are able to see that 
isness, so to speak, then there is a sense of realization. We 
experience sudden enlightenment. Without a sense of hopelessness, 
there is no way to give birth to sudden enlightenment. Only giving up 
our projects brings about the ultimate, definite, positive state of 
being, which is the realization that we are already enlightened 
beings here and now.

 From "Hopelessness and the Trikaya," in CRAZY WISDOM page 95.
