"Like a thief entering an empty house, bad thoughts cannot

in any way harm an empty mind."

Padmasambhava (8th century)




The peace beyond words

There is the constant Heart of presence

This is our essence

The rocklike foundation of Being

always here before, during and after thought

In this awareness thoughts might fight thoughts

and feelings join the battle

Only see that you are the silent seeing of this

untouched and free like the sky in a thunderstorm

Discover the peace of heaven

The peace beyond words

Ah, peace...
Another wonderful write, NT. Some beautiful imagery here and effective formatting as per usual. And an excellent quotation too.
Thanks!
