December 4, 2020

 No matter where we are on the bodhisattva path, whether we are just beginning or we've practiced for years, we're always stepping further into groundlessness.  

Enlightenment is not the end of anything.  Enlightenment, being completely awake, is just the beginning of fully entering into we know not what.
