Being true to True Being

lobster

I find Truth where I can. I don't really need a Buddhist form for it. Most of what I think is the result of upbringing, culture, experience; baggage. Not really true because others have very different modes of thought.
So what is True or genuine in our Being? For me it is a nameless clarity, free of my little self, that arises in stillness.

Nothing says the truth is that which is unconditiond like Buddhist meditaters.

And yet here you are on a Buddhist forum...

The Human Route

Coming empty-handed, going empty-handed – that is human.
When you are born, where do you come from?
When you die, where do you go?
Life is like a floating cloud which appears.
Death is like a floating cloud which disappears.
The floating cloud itself originally does not exist.
Life and death, coming and going, are also like that.
But there is one thing which always remains clear.
It is pure and clear, not depending on life and death.
Then what is the one pure and clear thing?.

(Zen Master Seung Sahn)

Recognising that all that arises passes away, we begin to look at that which doesn't arise or pass, and is always there.

(Ajahn Sumedho)

Good quote from Ajahn Sumedho. I remember the first time I met him, he seemed very natural and free. I saw him more recently, still looking . . .
Moving into a residing rather than a looking (which comes from vipassana) is the nature of being.
In other words a 'becoming the innate', rather than looking at/for some innateness.
