    52/108 Gates of Dharma Illumination

    The Fifty-second Gate

    The body as an abode of mindfulness is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with it] all dharmas are serene.

    Body :
    “the whole universe in ten directions is the real body”
    Abode:
    a place in which a person resides

    When we're mindful of our body as the universe and the universe as our body, then there is no friction between "things", and serenity prevails.

    Knowing the whole world
    As ourselves
    We are always home

    Same matter...
    Doesn't matter.
