Looking The Other Way Round

Instead of looking out and just seeing, allow everything to look into you.
It is such an unusual thing to do that there is nothing to comment on.

This is a pointing out instruction that I received from Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche some time ago.

It might sound odd (it did to me at the time), but waiting in a hospital triage area for eleven hours recently, ‘everything looking in’ describes exactly how it was. The coming and going and coming and going is merely noted without comment or attitude.

There wasn’t even a feeling of waiting.
No, it wasn’t a vacant state; it was a relief.
