Here's a Story
here’s a story…
the truth of dependant origination
unleashed a conceptual kerfuffle
one dark stormy night
“what then is there besides what’s now?”
-its all a dream-
this life this body this mind
and all its inhabitants
-and yet
this pink gets
put in wiggleswords
time travels
from
here
to
<____>
trustworthy is awareness’ mistress
some call her karma
some see her as emptiness
no one sees both
and lives as simply as that.
From the Progress of Insight:
“10. One who develops Discernment through the Contemplation of Change abandons the perception of stability/lastingness.”
https://dharmatreasure.org/wp-content/uploads/Meditation-and-Insight-III.pdf
14. The Insight into States that is Higher Understanding abandons all misinterpretations due to grasping at a core of substantial existence.
[Insight into States occurs through knowing an object by seeing its dissolution, and by also seeing the dissolution of consciousness together with its object. “Formations dissolve, there is nothing beyond the death of formations” is the Higher Understanding and is the Insight into States. By this means, the grasping at a permanent core, which is accompanied by craving, is abandoned. When 1-3 and 11-13 are established, 14 is partly penetrated.]
