The Secret To Dancing Between Raindrops ...

 THE EYE OF THE HEART

"All the great things of this world

are but snowflakes in a fiery furnace

and all the great opportunities of this world

are but dewdrops under a scorching sun.

Should I only daydream

in this world of illusion

and then just die?

Instead,

aloof from it all,

I will walk into

the world of

Eternal Truth."

- Ven SongChol personified the Zen dedication to being possessionless, leaving behind only a set of patchwork robes, a pair of glasses, a small library of books, and some great Dharma messages. His words resonate more with each passing day and provide a beacon light to this age of confusion. aimlessness and wandering.

"The Eye of the Heart has to become as clear as a mirror and brighter than the sun and the moon together. And we can achieve that not from without but from within, by rediscovering our clear, bright, spotless and original Self."

(text from the back of the book 'Opening the Eye')
