Distinguishing Mind and Awareness by Will Brown, Oct 2016
Distinguishing mind and awareness
Mind makes lists
applies labels
judges appearances
writes poems.
Awareness dances
through a fourth moment
where appearance emptiness becomes
bliss / mahasukha
But this is not a story of our clan
No luminosity knowing abides
No trickster with
tail on fire returns
from there…
But when
the guru’s song and the
roosters shout,
harmonizes with
the fabric at your knee,
in time
to the second shadow dance of the ikebana
Our only awareness
is the embracing
fragrance
Of the 3 kayas
.
