The Fifty-first Gate

Realization of nonappearance is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] we experience the truth of cessation

Nonappearance:
otherwise considered as nirvana


Gatha:
May we together with all beings
Be mindful of nonappearance
That we may experience reality



May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.
