Allow stillness cultivation into the core of your practice and also allow whatever to arise to arise.

Sometimes, like in springtime, what arises will be juicy, alchemy.

Other times, just the simple “ordinary” living of life. Chopping wood, carrying water.

Sometimes an odd blend of both. Chopping wood, carrying a steaming cauldron.

Even our mind making distinctions is a part of this Great Perfection, not separate from it.

And even what is truly truly evil and that we must always reject as such is part of this Great Perfection.

And even this apparent sense of being lost and ignorant and in the dark, and having to seek a Truth we initially imagine is separate only to finally awaken to enlightenment, which is paradoxically a simple noticing of what was there all along; every step of this whole process is part of the Great Perfection.
