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