WHY SHOULD YOU BELIEVE in any of this? Why should you care? No reason. No reason at all.

There’s nothing I can possibly tell you that could communicate this state to you. Because human language by its very nature just isn’t up to the task. If I say “kumquat” or “droopy granny boobs” or “Johnny Ramone on stage at CBGB’s circa 1975,” you have an idea what I mean. But there’s nothing I can say that can communicate the reality of that experience.

Do a lot of zazen though and you’ll see it for yourself. I can promise that, without doubt and without reservation.

But what happened to me won’t happen to you. At all. And yet it will. Exactly.

Sounds like nonsense doesn’t it? I empathize.

Here’s as clear as I can be about this stuff: The only enlightenment that really matters is right here and right now. You have it right in the palm of your hand. It shines from your eyes and illuminates everything you see.

Oh, and one last thing: People imagine enlightenment will make them incredibly powerful. And it does. It makes you the most powerful being in all the universe—but usually no one else notices.
