Tonalibus U —Heartfelt tears of joy
The sound of silence
“I notice the kind of background sound which I refer to as the sound of silence, a resonating vibratory sound… a high-pitched kind of vibration that’s always present. … When you recognize this sound of silence your thinking process stops — you can rest in this stream. It’s like a stream. It isn’t like ordinary sound that rises and ceases or begins and ends. … Behind that, behind all other sounds is this sound of silence. … It’s always present, it’s just there whether I notice it or not.”
Covet conceit to be free of it embrace closely all that is real breathe in and out.
Can you know a resolving solution unless you experienced and recognize entirely underlying problems a striking revelation breathe in and out.
Accept you covet wallowing in conceit so you find a way out realizing this is neither what you want nor real essence of the wholesome impatience to learn patience tension to recognize serenity confusion to realize clarity thus embrace all that is so it may transform and then dissolve breathing in and out.
“He who wants a rose must respect her thorn.” (Persian proverb)
“Just as the sand settles into stillness… so too can the mind find clarity in silence.”
“Words are but one way to express our understanding… Sometimes, the heart speaks louder in silence than in sound. Compassion and love can flow through presence and action, beyond the confines of language.”
“It is time for the outer development of technology to be matched by the inner development of humanity. The world only changes when we envision the transformation we wish to see. The task for us is to imagine another way and shepherd it into being.”
— Jack Kornfield All in this together, pp. 23, 48, 49, and 89

May all who did covet conceit realize a wholesome balance!
Arising of delight and also of suffering; cessation of delight and also of suffering.
Feeling conditioned by contact craving conditioned by feeling my self rises and falls the eyes see forms ears hear sounds the nose smells tongue tastes body touches mind thinks consciousness contact, feeling and craving for identity this I am not this is not mine this is not my self cessation of identity the end of suffering this is possible pleasant painful neither nor disenchanted dispassionate liberated.
Abandon the unwholesome understand, make an effort develop the wholesome serenity and insight realize liberation void knowledge happy and glad train day and night in wholesome states.

Unwavering equanimity
“There is wavering in one who is dependent, there is no wavering in one who is independent; when there is no wavering, there is tranquility; when there is tranquility, there is no bias; when there is no bias, there is no coming and going; when there is no coming and going, there is no passing away and reappearing; when there is no passing away and reappearing, there is no here nor beyond nor in between. This is the end of suffering.”
“If he should wish: ‘May I abide perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive,’ he abides perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive. If he should wish: ‘May I abide perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive,’ he abides perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive. If he should wish: ‘May I abide perceiving the unrepulsive in the repulsive and the unrepulsive,’ he abides perceiving the unrepulsive in that. If he should wish: ‘May I abide perceiving the repulsive in the unrepulsive and the repulsive,’ he abides perceiving the repulsive in that. If he should wish: ‘May I, avoiding both the repulsive and unrepulsive, abide in equanimity, mindful and fully aware,’ he abides in equanimity towards that, mindful and fully aware. That is how one is a noble one with developed faculties.”

Tranquility maybe wisdom no more striving for any state of being just be — so obvious you are, I am, we are nothing to resist at all nor attempt replacing look and see what is and taking it as such it becomes an object is no longer a subject thing to be addressed relative in full freedom detached as possible.
Too busy to meet yourself consequently wondering why’s there nobody coming like crossing to the other side pushing ahead gets carried away standing still results in drowning neither nor brings some balance from knowledge to experience from experience to knowledge where you are, not where you go feet on the earth, head in heaven there’s no schedule, no place to go but many paths going everywhere.
Does everyone sell themselves it seems in one way or another ask yourself what do you want how much ceremony may be in association and exchange actually I spent most this life chasing after enlightenment realization and mastership to find in the end simply being as good a human as ever possible can be is more than enough to keep very busy utterly fulfilled tranquil wise.

Result of conduct — here and now, or later
“Beings are owners of their actions, heirs of their actions; they originate from their actions, are bound to their actions, have their actions as their refuge. It is action that distinguishes beings…”
“When he says: ‘… everyone who …’ I do not grant him this. And when he says: ‘Those who know thus know rightly; those who think otherwise are mistaken,’ I also do not grant him this. And when he obstinately adheres to what he himself has know, seen, and discovered, insisting: ‘Only this is true, anything else is wrong,’ I also do not grant him this. Why is that? Because … knowledge of the great exposition of action is otherwise.”
“There is action that is incapable and appears incapable; there is action that is incapable and appears capable; there is action that is capable and appears capable; and there is action that is capable and appears incapable.”

Tranquility after the ice saints’ last stroke
First rays of sunlight on snowy mountain peaks conclude a tranquility retreat — May 2026 — Beatenberg, Switzerland
May you and I, may we all realize the results of our actions! — Therein, by depending on this, abandon that.
Confident, steady, and resolute talk and think wholesome wanting little if anything content and secluded aloof from society arousing energy wisdom delivering concentration, virtue renunciation – good will kindhearted compassion.
So much is flooding in that is going out giving freely not taking together a crowd indulges eventually wholesome talk and thought turns toward action better sooner than later!

Confident, steady, and resolute
[One’s heart-]mind enters into that signless concentration of mind and acquires confidence, steadiness, and resolution. [One] understands thus: ‘This signless concentration of mind is conditioned and volitionally produced. But whatever is conditioned and volitionally produced is impermanent, subject to cessation.’ When [one] knows and sees thus, [one’s] mind is liberated from the taint of sensual desire, from the taint of being, and from the taint of ignorance. When it is liberated there comes the knowledge: ‘It is liberated.’ [One] understands: ‘Birth is destroyed, the holy life has been lived, what had to be done has been done, there is no more coming to any state of being.’
There is present only this non-voidness, namely, that connected with the six [sense-]bases that are dependent on this body and conditioned by life. Thus [one] regards it as void of what is not there, but as to what remains there [one] understands that which is present thus: ‘This is present.’ … This is [one’s] genuine, undisturbed, pure descent into voidness, supreme and unsurpassed.
