This body is not me; I am not caught in this body,
I am life without boundaries,
I have never been born and I have never died.
Over there the wide ocean and the sky with many galaxies
All manifests from the basis of consciousness.
Since beginningless time I have always been free.
Birth and death are only a door through which we go in and out.
Birth and death are only a game of hide-and-seek.
So smile to me and take my hand and wave good-bye.
Tomorrow we shall meet again or even before,
We shall always be meeting again at the true source,
Always meeting again on the myriad paths of life.
excerpt from No Death, No Fear
Now is a moment to come back to our mindful breathing and walking, to generate the energy of peace, compassion, and gratitude to offer our beloved Teacher. It is a moment to take refuge in our spiritual friends, our local sanghas and community, and each other. – Plum Village
Deer Park Monastery, and Plum Village will be live streaming ceremonies for Thich for the next 5 days.
🙏 Thank you for everything, dear Thay. I will continue to look for you everywhere because that’s where you’ll be.
There has been only a change in form
Try and see positive things
Letting go
Know what I’m saying?
