What was my original face before my parents gave birth to me? This koan is a sharp sword for cutting through the net of birth and death, a giant axe for felling the tree of afflictions. Just look into it closely at all times, whatever you are doing, never forgetting it for a moment. After a long time at this, it will naturally become unmixed, coming up spontaneously without being brought up, coming to mind spontaneously without being brought to mind: from head to heels the whole body is just this one saying. When you get to this point, you cannot even find any arising of previous mundane toils and false ideas. Suddenly the bottom falls out of the bucket of lacquer, before and after are cut off, then you will attain realisation. Even so, there is still a final revelation. - Nan-Shih (1368-1425)

It happened that a fire broke out backstage in a theater. The clown came out to inform the public. They thought it was a jest and applauded. He repeated his warning. They shouted even louder. So I think the world will come to an end amid the general applause from all the wits who believe that it is a joke.

Søren Kierkegaard

There is something in the world that is neither in the sphere of the ordinary nor in the sphere of the holy. It is neither in the realm of the false nor in the realm of the true. - Wuzu

"Grown-ups don't look like grown-ups on the inside either. Outside, they're big and thoughtless and they always know what they're doing. Inside, they look just like they always have. Like they did when they were your age. Truth is, there aren't any grown-ups. Not one, in the whole wide world." - neil gaiman

if you want to avoid the pains of transmigration, you should directly know the way to become enlightened. the way to become enlightened is to realise your own mind. since your own mind is the fundamental nature of all sentient beings, which has never changed since before your parents were born, before your own body existed, it is called the original face.

 

this mind is originally pure; when the body is born, it shows no signs of birth; and when the body dies, it shows no signs of death. neither is it marked as male or female, nor has it any form, good or bad. because no simile can reach it, it is called the enlightened nature.

 

furthermore, all thoughts arise from this inherent nature like waves on the ocean, like images in a mirror. for this reason, if you want to realise your inner mind, first you must see the source of thoughts arising. whether awake or asleep, standing or sitting, deeply questioning what thing is your inner mind is called practice, meditation, will and the spirit of the way. questioning the inner mind like this is also called zazen.

 

now then, when you look what is the host, the master who is now seeing colours, hearing sounds raising hands and moving feet, though you realise that all this is the doing of your own mind, actually you don’t know what its inner reality is. if you say it is nonexistent; yet it is free to act; if you say that it exists, yet its form cannot be clearly seen. as it is inconceivable, with no way at all to understand, when your ideas are ended and you are help less, this is good work; at this point if you don’t give up and you will goes deeper and deeper, and your profound doubt penetrates the very depths and breaks through, there is no doubt that mind itself is enlightened. there is no birth and death to detest, no truth to seek, space is only ones mind.

 

 

this is the way of understanding though attainment of power from a litte bit of cultivation. everybody who cultivates meditation and works at it, whether householders or homeless, has at least such experience. this is already beyond the ken of people who do not meditate. this is already real enlightenment, but if you think you have no doubts about reality, you’re greatly mistaken. this will be like giving up the search for gold when you have found copper. when you have such a tendency, you should deepen your effort by observing your body as an illusion, like a bubble, like a reflection and see you mind as like space, with no form. here, hearing sound in the ear, what is the host that cognises the cho? tenaciously, profoundly, wholly doubting, when no cognisable principle exists anymore and you have forgotten about the existence of your body, when your former views and understanding die out and your doubt has become complete, your enlightenment will become complete, just as no water remains in a bucket when the bottom falls out. it will be like a dead tree bursting suddenly into bloom. if you can be like this, you will realise freedom on the midst of things and become greatly liberated.

In eternity, where there is no time, nothing can grow. Nothing can become. Nothing changes. So death created time to grow the things that it would kill and you are reborn but into the same life that you've always been born into. I mean, how many times have we had this conversation detectives? Who knows? You can't remember your lives, you can't change your lives, and that is the terrible and secret fate of all life. You're trapped, by that nightmare you keep waking up into.

 

Rust Cohle
