Insight on Liberation

By meditating on no-self, we can break through the barrier between self and other. When we are no longer seperate from the universe, a completely harmonious existence with the universe is created. We see that all other human beings exist in us and that we exist in all other beings. We can see that the past and the future are contained in the present moment, and we can penetrate and be completely liberated from the cycle of birth and death

-Thich Nhat Hanh
The Sutra on the Eight Great Realization of Great Beings

James's Comment: When I have moments like this there truly is no thought of birth and death. No thought of anything. Existence and non-existence are as equally beautiful. Balance in all things. Those are some of my humble thoughts on it anyway.

-Peace to us all-
