Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week<br><br>

LIFE JUST IS<br><br>
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.<br><br>
From "Hopelessness and the Trikaya," in CRAZY WISDOM page
