    55/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

    The Fifty-fifth Gate

    The Dharma as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] wisdom is free of blurs.

    Dharma:
    The Law; essential quality or character, as of the cosmos or one's own nature.

    That which is
    Requires no belief.
    The moon glows behind the clouds.

        Accepting all phenomena as they are, how can anything deceive us? Each things is simply what it is, blurry or not.

        All things clear or not
        Are just that
        Some are clear, some not

          Free from likes and dislikes,
          Resistance and clinging,
          Supreme Prajna shines.

            There is nothing
            other
            than what is

                  Ryūmon

                  sat
                  Yet I shiver in sudden fear
                  At the sight of a spider crawling on my leg,
                  That turned out to be a play
                  of light and shadow.

                    This resonates with me.

                    Thank you for teaching me.

                    I am very much a beginner and appreciate any words you may give me.
