Whenever you think you have reached God,
He reveals to you a new dimension of His presence,
So that you may realize that reaching Him…
Is a journey that never ends; for He is the path, and He is the goal.
— Jalaluddin Rumi
Within a single particle of dust, they brought forth, everywhere, all the states of the world and never missed the right moment to teach and transform all beings.
Within a single pore of the skin, they emitted the sounds of all the Tathāgatas, the Thus-Come-Ones, proclaiming the Dharma.
They knew that beings are like an illusion.
They knew that Buddhas are like a reflection.
They knew that the destinies and the paths of rebirth are like a dream.
They knew that karmic retributions are like a reflection in a mirror.
They knew that all creation is like a summer mirage.
They knew that the worlds are like changes and transformations.
They realized the Ten Powers of the Tathāgata, their fearlessness, their courage, and their self-mastery. With the roar of a lion, they penetrated deeply into the great ocean of limitless eloquence.
Avataṃsaka Sūtra, chapter 39, “Entering the Dharma Realm,” section 1.
An aperture becomes more capable not merely by accumulating understanding, but by learning to hold understanding alongside humility, uncertainty, compassion and responsibility.
