Dharmadhatu, which, in great sunyata, allows all<br />

dharmas to play there together. The space of four or ten<br />

directions <strong>and</strong> the three periods of time may be united or<br />

separated, interlocked or interwoven at the meditator's<br />

will, due to his mind's being sublimated in sunyata.<br />

ii. The mystic gate of sovereign power in connection<br />

with all the dharmas. As oneself is sunyata, so are others;<br />

may be behind one, also; the small is in the great; the<br />

great may be in the small, also; the low is in the high;<br />

the high may be in the low, also. Thus all elements,<br />

beings, <strong>and</strong> things are identified together. A universal<br />

identification forms an unlimited <strong>and</strong> ultimate freedom.<br />

(Some of the hippies who ask for "freedom" are<br />

sex), taking drugs, etc. Such "freedom" is a kind of<br />

suicide only. One who really wants true freedom should<br />

lay great stress upon this meditation.)<br />

iii. The mystic gate of the performance of manifestation,<br />

either appearance or disappearance. When something<br />

appears, it appears in sunyata, <strong>and</strong> when it disappears, it<br />

disappears in the same sunyata. For example, ancient<br />

scientists treated the atom as a superstition, but<br />

<strong>Buddhist</strong>s knew it quite well almost 2,500 years ago. It<br />

is not a thing newly coming to <strong>Buddhist</strong>s that the atom<br />
