Getting The Buddha Mind 114

I continued to think about the unselfish sun in the meditation period. Then I felt both my body and mind start to drift away. What kind of a weird feeling it was! I wanted to say something, but I could not. The next thing I remembered was that I was riding along with a bright comet across the galaxy. The brightness, beyond description, shone through space and left no dark spot or shade in the universe. I could see the back of a leaf and internal organs of the caterpillar with ease. I scanned through the valley of death and the words of Jesus came to my mind. I have seen the darkest corner of the valley. I had no fear of death at all.

I wanted to find where I was. I saw the stream of time-space continuum across the cosmos without beginning and end. I realized the true meaning of causation and the concept of karma. There were no conflicts or dilemmas to resolve. There were numerous folds of universes, with unique dimensions of infinite time and infinite space, in coexistence. Each set of the universe could be classified as either a sub-universe or co-universe simultaneously. They were not mutually exclusive, yet they could be distinctly and accurately defined as independent universes. All the characteristics found in one universe were transformable to another. Uniqueness transmuted into wholeness and wholeness transmuted into uniqueness in ascending order forever. I recalled a poem by William Blake:

To see a World in a grain of sand And Heaven in a wild flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.


My tears flowed out naturally with compassion. One moment was too long for eternity. I was reborn in absolute freedom. I prostrate to all sentient beings.
