Scripture of the Golden Eternity
Pg. 3




20 
The secret God-grin in the trees and in the teapot, 
in ashes and fronds, fire and brick, flesh and 
mental human hope. All things, far from yearning to 
be re-united with God, had never left themselves 
and here they are, Dharmakaya, the body of the 
truth law, the universal Thisness. 

21 
"Beyond the reach of change and fear, beyond all 
praise and blame," the Lankavatara Scripture knows 
to say, is he who is what he is in time and 
time-less-ness, in ego and in ego-less-ness, in 
self and in self-less-ness. 

22 
Stare deep into the world before you as if it were 
the void: innumerable holy ghosts, buddhies, and 
savior gods there hide, smiling. All the atoms 
emitting light inside wavehood, there is no 
personal separation of any of it. A hummingbird can 
come into a house and a hawk will not: so rest and 
be assured. While looking for the light, you may 
suddenly be devoured by the darkness and find the 
true light. 

23 
Things don’t tire of going and coming. The flies end 
up with the delicate viands. 

24 
The cause of the world's woe is birth, The cure of 
the world's woe is a bent stick.

25
Though it is everything, strictly speaking there is no golden 
eternity because everything is nothing: there are no things 
and no goings and comings: for all is emptiness, and emptiness is 
these forms,emptiness is this one formhood.

26
All these selfnesses have already vanished. Einstein measured that
this present universe is an expanding bubble, and you know what 
that means.

27
Discard such definite imaginations of phenomena as your own self, 
thou human being, thou'rt a numberless mass of sun-motes: each mote 
a shrine. The same as to your shyness of other selves,selfness as 
divided into infinite numbers of beings, or selfness as identified
as one self existing eternally. Be obliging and noble, be generous
with your time and help and possessions, and be kind, because the 
emptiness of this little place of flesh you carry around and call 
your soul, your entity, is the same emptiness in every direction of 
space unmeasurable emptiness, the same, one, and holy emptiness 
everywhere: why be selfy and unfree, Man God, in your dream? Wake up,
thou'rt selfless and free. "Even and upright your mind abides nowhere,"
states Hui Neng of China. We're all in heaven now.

28
Roaring dreams take place in a perfectly silent mind. Now that we 
know this, throw the raft away.

29
Are you tightwad and are you mean, those are the true sins, and 
sin is only a conception of ours, due to long habit. Are you generous 
and are you kind, those are the true virtues, and they're only
conceptions. The golden eternity rests beyond sin and virtue, is 
attached to neither, is attached to nothing, is unattached, because 
the golden eternity is Alone. The mold has rills but it is one mold.
The field has curves but it is one field. All things are different 
forms of the same thing. I call it the golden eternity-what do you 
call it, brother? for the blessing and merit of virtue, and the punishment
and bad fate of sin, are alike just so many words.

30
Sociability is a big smile, and a big smile is nothing but teeth. 
Rest and be kind.
