Acknowledging the Simple Unity of the Two Truths

Acknowledging the mistaken view
is
acknowledging the ultimate view.

Putting this into Practice
Seeing the mistaken
is the mirror of clarity.

See the mistaken
but look to the good.

The Problem
We want it perfect
when it is already perfect.
In wanting it perfect,
we obscure the perfect.

Every moment is a karmic moment
created by mistaken views.
Acknowledging this,
we rest in peace.

The universe will not change,
but our view will.
If we react to a mistaken view
we become part of that mistaken view,
adding to karma.

Acknowledging an imbalance in others
is a moment of mirror-like wisdom.
Merely acknowledge and let go,
as reaction clouds the mirror
with karmic dust.

All that matters is acknowledging
our own ultimate truth.
In doing so,
we acknowledge the same ultimate truth in others:
that is compassion.

The more gentle the path,
the quicker it is traversed.

Merry Christmas and goodwill to all!
