    For a change I have no verbose comment to make.

    This is amazing:

    “Leave the enlightenment-thing to the Source Itself and be done with it.”

    Thanks!

    Great Dharma-lesson, I feel will quote it some day.

    PS: Yesterday I was lying in bed and I remembered there’s something to add here. The Dharma is the rain that falls on all earth (our minds) so that the seed can sprout. To say “Leave it to the Source itself and be done with it” is excellent indeed. The Lotus Sutra says the same, that the ultimate truth is something profound that can be understood only by Buddhas, not even by Bodhisattvas. I remind myself that it doesn’t negate practice. We still have to go to the Source and drink from it, every day, through faith, practice and study. The eye cannot see itself: it needs the Mirror of the Dharma in order to behold itself.
