Paradise is right here

How boundless and free is the sky of Awareness!
How bright the full moon of wisdom!
Truly, is anything missing now?
Nirvana is right here, before our eyes; this very place is the Lotus Land; this very body, the Buddha.


-Hakuin Zenji, “Song of Zazen”

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
If I die tomorrow I'll be allright because I believe, that after we've gone, the spirit carries on
