the Order of Awakening

“All philosophies are mental fabrications. There has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things.” - Nagarjuna

"To follow the way is to give up discriminating between right and wrong, and to stop insisting that this is good and that is bad." - Dogen Zenji

@opensea Looks cool, good luck!

Tomorrow, @creatureworld drops “Crowd”, the first generative open edition collection to launch on OpenSea. Crowd composes Creatures of every color into an infinite supply of unique artworks.

But the effort we make is supported by the effort made by all other things and beings. So when we sit in meditation, all Buddhas, masters and bodhisattvas of the past sit with us to help us awaken.

Every action we take is supported by everything else. We're always carried by the whole and we can never fall out of it. No matter how low we think we might have fallen. This doesn't mean we don't have to make any effort.

We often feel separated from our environment. We can feel alone or anxious, and we can be afraid of failing. But what we sometimes forget is that we ourselves are a part of the natural way of things. 🧵(1/4)

However innumerable all beings are, I vow to save them all. However unfathomable the cause of suffering is, I vow to end it completely. However countless the gateless gates are, I vow to enter them. However endless the path of awakening is, I vow to embody it fully.

Ordination will start soon...
