Enlightenment is seeing your face before your parents were born




Zen masters describe the innate inner radiance within us as original nature or 'your face before your parents were born'.

This leads me to a sense of timelessness, a sense of infinity, and a sense of always being.

Are we One 'always being' that manifests in billions of ways, or billions of 'always being' that manifest as One or both?
