Damei asked Ancestor Ma, "What is Buddha?"
Ancestor Ma said, "This very heart-mind is Buddha."
Awakening. Just as you are. Now. Here. That's it. Whatever your state of being, state of mind, experience being experienced - not dressing it up, not dressing it down; not dismissing it, not thrusting it forth; not minimizing, not exaggerating. Letting it be, and being it fully, just as it is. Awakening. Where else could it be other than here? What else could it be other than this?
