The Ground

PLACEHOLDER — every form of Buddhism stood on the same ground. Part of it can be said. Part of it can't.

What can be said

PLACEHOLDER — the view. Nothing holds still.

PLACEHOLDER — chasing stillness in what moves. That ache is the first fact of the teaching. Your word for it: never at rest.

PLACEHOLDER — and no one behind the chase.

What can't be said

PLACEHOLDER — the One Great Matter. The mystics who went furthest reached for the only words they had — God, Being, Oneness — and were captured by them.

PLACEHOLDER — Buddhism refuses the word. Not because it found nothing. Because the moment you name it, you've made it into something.

Why it points

PLACEHOLDER — what can't be said can still be seen. So the teaching doesn't describe. It points — and the seeing is yours or it is nothing.

PLACEHOLDER — a question that holds the silence.
