THE BUDDHA IS YOUR EMPTY HEART<strong>The</strong> evening was beautiful already, but by ten thousand buddhas witnessing, you have made it therichest evening possible.Remember this silence when you <strong>com</strong>e back. Don’t leave it behind. Bring as many flowers and asmuch fragrance and juice <strong>with</strong> you as possible. And take care <strong>of</strong> noting what is the way you reachto the center. <strong>The</strong> same is the way you <strong>com</strong>e back to the circumference.You have to be<strong>com</strong>e very acquainted <strong>with</strong> the path. It is a small path. Once you have be<strong>com</strong>eacquainted, you can go in, any moment, just as you go in the house and out <strong>of</strong> the house <strong>with</strong>outany difficulty.
