Contemplation - Basel Meditation
When you become a professor, the whole body is professor. You forget completely. That is the reason monks shave their head. Just a simple bare body; a leather bag. Even the masters do not dress differently than monks. The thing is, you have to be an original person; you have to act as an original person.
Since time immemorial, people with the will to follow the path have traveled from region to region to receive instruction from experienced masters. They certainly did not let their lives in this world pass in vain. Therefore, they did their best to quiet their conditioned minds and sought out teachers who truly had an enlightened eye. When they encountered such teachers, they would put down their luggage and stay as long as necessary, relying on these experienced teachers to help them complete their work. When we observe the paths they followed, we see that they were real “dragons and elephants.”
Before you are born - Beautiful or Ugly
The person you were before you are born, that is the one you have to carry and you are actually already doing it. Nobody taught you but you know how to eat, you know when you are hungry. That is the real Paradise. Nobody really taught you, but you know it. The Paradise can not be dirty or contaminated, beautiful or ugly, long or short and it is not because of anything you have done but because that is what it is.
