    The 100th of 108 Gates Of Dharma Illumination

    Gate One Hundred
    Read the following, place it in your heart and sleep on it. Then, tomorrow, live it until evening when you can leave a brief comment on what you may have received during the process.

    The wisdom view is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] wisdom is realized and fulfilled.

    Wisdom View : Right view based on right intention.

    By “Dharma Gate”, We mean a teaching or practice that can lead to spiritual growth: some kind of positive outcome in terms of our practice. A way to approach the truth.

    Koan:
    " Prajna: Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm. "
    "When the practitioner breathes in or breathes out and contemplates the essential impermanence or the essential disappearance of desire or the no-birth, no-death nature of all phenomena or letting go — he abides peacefully in the observations of the objects of mind in the objects of mind, persevering, fully awake, clearly understanding his state, gone beyond all attachment and aversion to this life."

    Most note worthy replies :

    Look at yourself
    And your thoughts, actions, and words
    With honesty;
    Samādhi awaits the wise.


    Looking to the light
    Not the dark
    All things become clear
