The vulva is not impure, it is a gate of the #BuddhaDharma world.

The #BuddhaDharma is not about worship or belonging to a group. It is a way of seeing life clearly. It says: everything changes, nothing lasts forever, & holding too tightly to things that change causes trouble. Instead of clinging, one can live with #awareness, #kindness, & #balance. It is not about blind belief, but about testing these ideas in one’s own personal #experience. It’s simply a guide to reduce suffering & live more #freely.
#Nakedness before the sun is a return to origin. When I drop garments, I drop roles, ideas, positions. What remains is simply presence, direct, immediate, unshaped by status. This is equality, beyond gender, beyond measure. The sun shines on all without distinction, showing us that #BuddhaDharma too makes no separation. In this way, unclothed being is the #true mirror of #reality. (5/8)
#Nakedness before the sun is not exhibition but equality. No rank, no difference, no concealment, only presence. Light & shadow play across my #body, yet my #body itself is only another flicker of change. To see this is to #awaken to the #truth that nothing is hidden & nothing remains. Sun, shadow, #body, #earth, all are #BuddhaDharma, all are the same endless teaching. (4/8)
裸身對日、光影皆法。
#Naked before the sun, light & shadow are #BuddhaDharma.
#Naked before the sun, I cast aside all clothing, nothing hides, nothing separates. This bareness is not just of the #body but of all illusions. To stand like this is to meet the world directly, without armour or mask. The warmth of the sun touches without judgement. In this simple act, the great teaching appears: to be open, unguarded, & #free from pretense is itself the gate to #truth. (1/8)

Why Mindfulness isn’t Enough
Minds need a context. Mind needs fire and water, breath and ritual, it needs stories and song… it needs to establish a living relationship with those that came before and those yet to come, to offer in devotion and to enact its place in the cosmos. Such realizations return us to the sacredness of form. We find that all of the supposedly ‘non-essential’, ritual, form-based aspects of tradition actually architect a mind that has true fullness

The Mandala of Animist Forces
If your spirituality is just that you want to take yourself beyond, of course this is just illusion. But imagine that for, say, an Amazonian tribesperson. If they were to say that the forest they live in is ‘just illusion,’ they’d be dead within a day, right? Ecology requires us to have a deep attentiveness to the [relational] way reality manifests
Nuntiyo BhikkhuMind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts, suffering follows him, like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

We don’t honour the #BuddhaDharma by keeping it in a box. We honour it by practising it — deeply, honestly, & responsively. There isn’t one correct #Buddhism. There are many paths, shaped by many lives. That’s why it still speaks to us today. If it hadn’t changed, it would have died long ago. Changing #Buddhism isn’t a betrayal. It’s how the #BuddhaDharma breathes. (10/10)
