Nothing to say,

nothing to do,

nothing to cling on to,

nothing to cling on with.

There I go...

making something out

of nothing again

Hello TaoXin, and welcome.

 

Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go.

 

Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started.

 

For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day.

 

Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you,

 

Marblehead and the TDB team

 

 

Hi TaoXin,

 

There is never nothing.  But there are the transformations.  Maybe you look at the peak of transformations?

 

You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.

 

May you enjoy your time here.

Yes, there is never nothing but there is also always nothing, too.

... the term "nothing" and "complete void" in fact mean 100% potential...

 

I love that but some will disagree with us.

The field of boundless emptiness is what exists from the very beginning.

You must purify, cure, grind down, or brush away all the tendencies you have fabricated into apparent habits.

Then you can reside in the clear circle of brightness.

Utter emptiness has no image, upright independence does not rely on anything.

Just expand and illuminate the original truth unconcerned by external conditions.

Accordingly we are told to realise that not a single thing exists.

In this field birth and death do not appear.

The deep source, transparent down to the bottom, can radiantly shine and can respond unencumbered to each speck of dust without becoming its partner.

The subtlety of seeing and hearing transcends mere colours and sounds.

The whole affair functions without leaving traces, and mirrors without obscurations.

Very naturally mind and dharmas emerge and harmonise.

An ancient said that non-mind enacts and fulfils the way of non-mind.

Enacting and fulfilling the way of non-mind, finally you can rest.

Proceeding you are able to guide the assembly.

With thoughts clear, sitting silently, wander into the centre of the circle of wonder.

This is how you must penetrate and study.
