there is no limit to this moment

In this moment there is nothing which comes to be.

In this moment there is nothing which ceases to be.

Thus there is no birth-and-death to be brought to an end.

Wherefore the absolute tranquility in this present moment.


Though it is at this moment,

There is no limit to this moment,

And herein is eternal delight.

  1. Upon reading these words there is a sense of the absolute tranquility that is the substance of reality. Thank you.

  2. Yes, the 'substance' that is no thing, no object.
