Liu Ming-- 'Being Human...'

[advisory to the easily-offended: LM has a very plainspoken way about him, and he's not part of any consensus that I know of. However, he has no interest in contention, either. He's [b]my[/b] 'cup of tea', but may not be yours.]

It doesn't download for me (says file is corrupted). But I went to http://www.dayuancircle.com/ming.htm and dowloaded it there.

I love this:

"The spiritual aspect of ourselves is not other than where we are; it's only exactly where we are. The only place where absolutely everything is revealed is in the situation you're really in. The situation you imagine yourself to be in couldn't contain everything; but the situation you're really in definitely does. So there are no missing bits, and no evil illusion. "

Thanks for supplying the 'missing link', Ona!

"We can go on and on, promoting conflict, or we can simply express our life. In doing the latter, we necessarily complete ourselves in every action-- there's no residue...

This is how daily life practice becomes real. Don't mark it or measure it, just observe it and the circle will close. If you have activities and habits that are destroying your energy, body, or mind, just closing the circle will resolve them, and your true nature will come forward. This true nature is not immune to problems, but it will not be exhausted by them anymore."

As in problems simply cease to be problems?

I like his terminology, too, such as "true nature."
