What is the nature of the natureless
reality?
A nature that has no nature is a free
nature,
for what is free does not strive for what is
already at hand.
The self which has no self is of the self of
everyone,
being the nature of the natureless
reality.
Released from distress due to immediately
perceiving
that there is nothing in itself which is
innately a source of distress,
projections of the mind are not present to the
perceiver
when the build up to there being a perceiver
never really took place.
Empty like a bowl that is eternally
ringing
though it never began to ring,
what real substance is there to flickering
thoughts
that are seemingly coming from within,
but are in actuality as vacant as the soundless
sound.
Seeking the buddha nature by hearing the buddha
nature,
everything in all realities is an object of
enlightenment
because everything contains that which cannot be
contained.
Pouring the self back into the fathomless
self,
though there is no 'I', there is still
'I'.
Both present and not present,
I am and am not.
