The world unfolds in the space you create

Ven. Gendun

All Dharma – all virtue – perceives [interdependence] to some extent. My joy perceives this to some extent. My love perceives this to some extent. What I would like is to see it entirely, but at least I see some of it. All hatred, all jealousy, all spite and so forth, denies this. All our non-virtue is contrary to the world that exists. All virtue therefore nourishes, at the same time, others and ourselves.

By constant reflection, I block out that which we impute on reality. Learn to train in doing that, because if we do that, on the one hand, we train in taking away that which obstructs our view from perceiving the Pure Lands, but at the same time – to the extent that we maintain awareness of this – the world starts to function as a Pure Land.

The world unfolds in the space you create.
