shrinkrants: Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place. — Kurt Vonnegut (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

ancientart: Taizokai (Womb World) mandara, Heian period, Japanese. Hanging scroll, colour on silk. Pictured above is the iconic Womb World mandara, the best preserved and oldest of its kind from Japan. A diagram of the cosmic universe is presented, which consists of 12 zones, each of which represent one of the dimensions of buddha nature (such as, purity, wisdom, and universal knowledge). The arts flourished during the early Heian period in result to the emphasis Shingon placed on mediation and ritual. Artistic forms such as sculpture and painting gave followers visualizations of Buddhist deities, and allowed them to ponder presented concepts of the religion. While difficult to view without close-up observation, note the figures holding lightening bolts. This symbolizes the power of the mind to eradicate human passion. Here I would recommend Gardner’s Art through the Ages: Non-Western Perspectives by Fred S. Kleiner, particularly the chapter ‘Japan before 1333,’ which I used for reference while writing up this post. Photo via the Wiki Commons. This artefact is courtesy of and currently located at Kyoogokokuji (Toji), a Shingon teaching center in Kyoto, Japan.

Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom, and how much the Truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star. To the ignorant, the wise man is lonely because he abides in distant heights of the mind. But the wise man himself does not feel lonely. Wisdom brings him nearer to life; closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be. Bookishness may lead to loneliness, and scholarship may end in a battle of beliefs, but the wise man gazing off into space sees not an emptiness, but a space full of life, truth, and law.

The kingdom is within you and outside you. When you know yourselves, you will be known, and you will know you are children of the living father. But if you do not know yourselves, you live in poverty and you yourselves are the poverty.

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.

It must be obvious that there is a contradiction in wanting to be perfectly secure in a universe whose very nature is momentariness and fluidity.

Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation; it is most fundamentally an attitude of being—a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.
