54/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

The Fifty-fourth Gate

Mind as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination;for [with it] we reflect that mind is like a phantom.

Mind:
the totality of conscious and unconscious mental processes and activities.

Mind is the river
We swim in
But cannot possess

I can only know my own mind
If I am in this moment.
My mind
Is right here, right now.
Oh, look... there it goes!

Please excuse any indication that I am trying to teach anything. I am a priest in training and have no qualifications or credentials to teach Zen practice or the Dharma.

Abiding in no-thought,
An image arises and ceases.
A ripple on a calm lake.
When a thief rests,
There's no stealth.
