Curly And The Buddha
“Do you know what the secret of life is?”
“No – what?”
“This.”
“Your finger?”
“One thing. Just one thing.
You stick to that
and everything else just don’t mean shiiit.”
“That’s great – but what’s the one thing?”
“That’s what you gotta figure out…”

It’s simply a question of elimination.
Recognise that one thing.
Gain confidence in that one thing.
Rest in that one thing.
This is essential at so-called death,
because this guides our life.
🙂
Speaking personally, my ‘one thing’ is karma within consciousness: whatever occurs in the moment now is due to my past actions and reactions, and present reactions have to be eliminated in order to eliminate future karma. This is the process of purification. Gently does it: simply remain in consciousness while aware of reactions taking place so that space or emptiness is allowed to be present. This is my teacher, and in this way karma becomes more and more inspiring – whether good or bad. Karma then becomes a blessing. That’s how I found Curly! 😀
This Is actually Garab Dorje’s three statements
that hit the point.
“Recognise. Resolve. Have Confidence.”
Recognise:
the direct introduction to consciousness itself.
Resolve:
decide that there is nothing else.
Have confidence:
in liberating whatever arises within consciousness.
