The wind that comes from afar and makes its presence known invisibly arisen by reversing the hearing to hear the true nature within pleasing the celestial dragons happy at peace and free patient when no objects arise.

The “Great Spirit Prayer” that comes blown in the wind
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me. I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
— The Great Spirit Prayer, translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark, ca. 1887, web-source

Polyamorous monk purged empty and still
“When one enters the monastic life, the first thing one is given to learn is a short verse to be recited every morning, as follows: Do no evil deed with body, speech, or mind; Give no trouble to any being in the world. With right thought, see the emptiness of the realm of desire; And keep your distance from unhelpful asceticism.“
“All is empty and also that what understands emptiness and the emptiness that is understood are empty as well… All phenomena are understood to be empty.”
“I began with a practice based on the enlightened nature of hearing. First I redirect my hearing inward in order to enter the current of the sages. Then external sounds disappeared. With the direction of my hearing reversed and with sounds stilled, both sounds and silence ceased to arise. So it was that, as I gradually progressed, what I heard and my awareness of what I heard came to an end. Even when that state of mind in which everything had come to an end disappeared, I did not rest. My awareness and the objects of my awareness were emptied, and when that process of emptying my awareness was wholly complete, then even that emptying and what had been emptied vanished. Coming into being and ceasing to be themselves ceased to be. Then the ultimate stillness was revealed.”
“Purge yourself… to the point that you have purged even the act of purging.”

Sound of a flute can you hear it when present or also absent sound arising and ceasing do you hear dependent on sound coming to be or ending always hearing independent of a sound or silence disengaged free from perception and objects from the same source beyond separation illusions, outflows choosing one faculty perception like hearing with all attention focused inward to what’s original in and with all faculties break through and enter the current of realization radiating spiritual freedom.

Practice awakening as in sound and silence
“To transform your … awareness into … purity … pull out the root of death and rebirth and rely on that pure and perfect nature that neither comes into being nor ceases to be. Use the purity of your true nature to make disappear the distinction between your original state of enlightenment and the illusory state of what comes into being and ceases to be. The original enlightened understanding, which neither comes into being nor ceases to be, must be the basis of your practice. Then you will attain the awakening that will be the result of your practice.”
“Choose one faculty [eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, cognitive] as a gateway to deep practice. If you take that path until you have left behind all distortion within that one faculty, then all other faculties will be purified as well.”
“Be/become patient with the state of mind in which no mental objects arise.”

Subtle layers of perception like sounds of a flute

Neither same nor different can really be identified so by faculties that sense perceive objects to register in consciousness maybe pleasant or unpleasant neither nor dependent on each other in existence come to be not caused conditioned nor on their own what a wondrous suchness of reality neither same nor different.
Enlightenment inherent in one understanding falsifies it all understood who does it deluded split into compatible and incompatible with shared karma union or separation in emotional love hunger exists for each other to steal and kill such distortion perpetuated by adding any understanding to the inherent enlightenment in all.
Apart from ‘is’ and from ‘is not’ both is and is not it is and is not and neither is nor is not a confusion is based only on confusion delusion has no existence cease arising and perishing also left behind the leaving behind transcend speculation cultivate free of outflow remove worldly torments of hate and unwholesome love.

Evviva il clown! — Long live the clown!
“There are six guiding principles in my life. The first is to be a good clown and to keep getting better. The second is that I want to be a good person — and to keep getting better at that, too. The third is that I want to live every day as if it were my last. The fourth is the awareness that everything I do has consequences. Good deeds have good consequences, evil deeds have evil ones… The endless webs… I know that everything I do here not only has an immediate consequence, but also weaves new threads into the webs that extend into the future and shape destinies. That even the smallest deed is recorded in the Book of Life…
“The fifth guiding principle in my life is that hardly a day goes by when I don’t have to think about all the suffering in this world, about the mystery of the enormous injustices that people inflict on one another. And with this, I realize time and again how privileged I am to be able to pursue my calling — one of the most beautiful there is in this world. And the sixth guiding principle is that we are here in this world to learn constantly.”

Come back again not to where I was in consciousness but to this world for yet another life not because I must but because I choose to celebrate life’s joy and give what I can see what’s going on and help as possible let an embryo grow not ever confined inside any womb raise a new baby not being stuck or locked inside in mind and spirit with a beating heart to give a helping hand to everyone and all sentient beings everywhere I wish and plan to come back again a possibility we create.

“The true reality that does exist, and that is who we really are, lies beyond our attachment to a duality of self and other and a duality of existence and nonexistence.”
“In enlightenment, how could there be identity or a lack if it?”
“Neither the affirmation nor the denial of the statement ‘That is [me]’ is true.”
“Neither affirm nor deny… All your various interpretations of… awareness and… objects are nothing but delusion, and in the midst of delusion one cannot avoid thinking ‘That is’ and ‘That is not.’ Only from within the true, essential, wonderfully understanding, awakened [heart-]mind can one escape the error of trying to point to what ‘is’ and what ‘is not.'”
