GENUINE INSPIRATION AND BUDDHA MIND
http://www.enlightentainment.com - nondual hip hop
"Genuine inspiration is not particularly dramatic. It's very ordinary. It
comes from settling down in your environment and accepting situations as
natural. Out of that you begin to realize that you can dance with them. So
inspiration comes from acceptance rather than from having a sudden flash of
a good gimmick coming up in your mind....Inspiration has two parts:
openness and clear vision, or in Sanskrit, shunyata and prajna. Both are
based on the notion of original mind, traditionally known as buddha mind,
which is blank, nonterritorial, noncompetitive, and open."
