An online community sharing the study and practice of Chan Buddhism

I once was a dreamer, lost in the waves of the ocean which battered me, and threw me around, here, there, everywhere.


Somewhere in this dream, by an act of grace, or not, I began to wake up. And then I realized something utterly profound, or not.

There was no dreamer and there was no ocean, there were no waves! No battering, no throwing, no me! There just was. Or not....

And then I was embraced by a beautiful peace, a peace which I had never felt before. And no matter what happened I knew it had never happened, never would, and that none of it even mattered anyway... or not.
