If peace and happiness are the very nature of our being
And we are always experiencing our being
Then why don't we experience peace and happiness all the time?
The reason is simple
Whilst we are always experiencing our being (Akira)
We don't always experience our being clearly
As it essentially is (as it essentially is)
Our being is entangled
With the content of experience
When we drink tea, coffee, or wine
We are mostly drinking water
But we don't realize we are drinking water
As the water is mixed with various flavors
Sweet or bitter
It is the same with ourself or being
In every experience we have
Whether pleasant or unpleasant
We are experiencing our being
Being is shining clearly
If peace and happiness make up our being
How can it be so that isn't all I know?
Yet whether waking, or if in a dream
In all that's ever been is the shining of being
In the midst of each experience
In all these drinks
Tea, coffee, orange juice, and so on
The water is the thirst-quenching element
Likewise
Our being is the thirst-quenching element
In all experience
That is
Our being is the only element of experience
That can truly satisfy our longing
For peace and happiness
The experiences of peace
Happiness, and love
Are the shining of being
In the midst of experience
If peace and happiness make up our being
How can it be so that isn't all I know?
Yet whether waking, or if in a dream
In all that's ever been is the shining of being
