Enlightenment is not far away. It is right before your eyes. That is why it is called the right Dharma eye field. When you are enlightened, you are not free from suffering, but you are not engulfed in suffering. The waves of life hit everyone, whether they are sentient beings or Buddhas. However, sentient beings are swept away by the waves, while Buddhas surf the waves. This is because they have realized their own non-self. Buddha also lived through birth, aging, illness, and death. What will happen will happen, and what is to come will come. However, they do not get caught up in the thoughts and emotions that arise within them. Thoughts change into wisdom, and emotions sublimate into compassion. Suffering becomes suffering when you accept suffering as suffering. A problem becomes a problem only when you recognize it as a problem. Therefore, when you have Dono... you can see that the true score begins. If everyday life is not the Way, where is the Way? #Enlightenment #Non-self #Now
