2.2 The Gate of Wealth: Money as the Flowing Dharma‑Water of No‑Mind
2.2 The Gate of Wealth: Money as the Flowing Dharma‑Water of No‑Mind
【Insight】
Many spiritual seekers fear money---yet this too is a form of "mind at work": attachment to "purity." Money, in essence, is the flowing "trust" and "energy" of the cosmos.
【Reality】
Scarcity is not due to lack of money---but because you believe yourself to be an "isolated receiver." If you see yourself as the entire ocean, then money's inflow and outflow are like seawater moving through currents. Remove a bucket---the ocean does not diminish; add a bucket---it does not increase.
【Immediate Liberation】
When earning, work with the No‑Mind intention of "manifesting abundance for all beings"---without fixation on amount. When spending, do so with gratitude: "This energy flows through me as a gift." When you cease suffocating around money, your relationship with wealth shifts from "struggle" to "dance." You'll discover: the less you grasp (No‑Mind), the more freely the Dharma‑water flows.
