Eternal Sunrise



The sun never rises or sets...just an illusion caused by the rotation of the earth.
The Sun of Clear Mind shines eternally...it was inside me before I was born and will be after I die.
Only the clouds of false knowledge and conceptual thought obscure it...like thick dark monsoon clouds, but with even less substance.
When I turn my perception to the inner background, all the clouds disappear, revealing the shining perfection that always is.
This is my true home, my place of Being, my Buddha-nature.
This is real...all else is cloudy illusion.
Once I know this , there is nothing left to know, nowhere to go.
Just perfect, loving radiance that flowers so joyously....how did I ever let myself forget this?
That is the true mystery.
