Inward Flame

Light gathers—

no thought, no end.

The mountain waits,

the river sheds,

the heart flickers, whole.

Wings fold over silence,

horns curve toward the moon—

all that you seek

is already yours.

一切新奇事物只是忘却。

The phrase '本自具足' suggests that everything we need is already within us. This realization can help us navigate modern life's chaos by fostering a sense of contentment and gratitude. In many cultures, such wisdom is encapsulated in practices like meditation, which encourage us to listen to our inner voice and embrace stillness amid the storm. The journey towards self-actualization involves shedding unnecessary thoughts and distractions, allowing the heart to flicker authentically. As we connect with nature—the steadfastness of mountains, the fluidity of rivers, and the tranquility of the night sky—our understanding of life's interconnections deepens, inspiring us to seek what is already ours. Through external silence, we often find internal clarity, reaffirming the belief that true abundance begins from within.
