Overview
Great Awakening allows us space and emptiness. So much so that even the greatest of tragedies and sufferings take on the exquisite beauty of the lone tree in a painting. Come discover the treasure that lies within. Uncover the ever present joy and appreciation that is your birthright and always available.
The beauty of the tree painting is in the space inbetween the leaves and branches. Emptiness makes up most of painting and therein lies the beauty.
We are so busy filling up our lives that innate beauty is lost from our consciousness awareness. The beauty is there, space is there and emptiness is ever present. So all this businesses trying to fill the void. Fill up empty space is futile. And ultimately increases our suffering, our disappointment and our desires. There is no amount of acquisitions or novelties that can scratch the itch. Fleeting pleasures, experiences end with splat! Like a ripe tomato thrown into the air. There is no escaping the rupture, destruction and dissolution. It is inevitable.
How to allow space? How to allow emptiness?
How to be comfortable with nothing?
How to be at ease with not knowing?
How to see yourself without distraction?
Great Awakening allows us space and emptiness. So much so that even the greatest of tragedies and suffering take on the exquisite beauty of the lone tree in the painting. Come discover the treasure that lies within. Uncover the ever present joy and appreciation that is your birthright and always available.

“To study the Buddha Way is to study the self; to study the self is to forget the self; to forget the self is to be enlightened by the 10,000 things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the body and mind of others drop away. No trace of realization remains and this no trace continues endlessly.”
——Dōgen Zenji
