After your house burns down to the ground, is the perfect time to redecorate - and not a moment before! After you understand that you are not the director, but the theater itself, feel free to enjoy any play you like! After you realize that nothing is solid, and nothing matters, lovingly take all those matters to heart and participate with joy! After you see that you are absolutely alone and that there is no one to dance with, turn up the music, take off your clothes and twist and waltz and boogaloo wildly with everyone and everything you see! After you see that you are nothing at all, you will discover, beloved, that you are everything!
You are so loved, Analisa

invites you to find out what you are. The nun Wu Jincang asked the Sixth Patriach Huineng, "I have studied the Mahaparinirvana sutra for many years, yet there are many areas i do not quite understand. Please enlighten me."
The patriarch responded, "I am illiterate. Please read out the characters to me and perhaps I will be able to explain the meaning." Said the nun, "You cannot even recognize the characters. How are you able then to understand the meaning?" "Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?" Archives
