Enlightenment Meditation

Tian-tai Mountains are famous for their well-known reputation as a residence of saints and immortals.

Not because you “transcended” anything. Not because you “became enlightened.” But because there was never anything to erase. Everything you’ve ever been searching for? Everything you’ve ever thought you needed? It was already here. ...
