9.3 Perception Within the Truth: The Illumination of No‑Mind
9.3 Perception Within the Truth: The Illumination of No‑Mind
【Ultimate Reality】
Even without the body, the Self‑Nature perceives. Moreover, this is a holographic perception rooted in the Truth. The awareness of Self‑Nature does not miss the slightest ripple of energy frequency in the universe.
It does not require light to enter a pupil or sound waves to vibrate an eardrum; it resonates directly with the energy of all things. When you withdraw your attachment to the bodily tool, you realize: you are no longer perceiving the world from a single "point," but as the "Entire Ocean" feeling the vibration of every drop---this is the illumination of No‑Mind.
【Immediate Liberation】
Right now, close your eyes---not to "see" anything.
Just rest.
You will find: in darkness, there is light; in silence, there is sound; without a body, there is awareness---
That is precisely the Mirror of Self‑Nature, reflecting perfectly as‑it‑is.
That is precisely No‑Mind, illuminating all illusions, revealing the innate true knowing.
Final Closing of the Book
The senses are windows; No‑Mind is the sky.
Windows may open or close---the sky is boundless.
Cling to the window as your limit, and you miss the vast heavens;
Let the mind rest in emptiness, and all phenomena fulfill themselves.
With mind at work, a thousand troubles stir; in No‑Mind, ten thousand scenes are at peace.
Seek not to leave illusions behind, only still the waves of thought.
The essence ever silent‑illuminating, its great function perfectly complete.
Returning, not a single thing remains---mountains and rivers are the meditation cushion.
ON NO‑MIND
