Every thought, every feeling, every sensation, every experience is. All moments of experience are vitally alive and present. This is the sheer existence or "suchness" of all things.

Transcript

As you sit here,

I invite you to make no effort to sustain anything.

No effort to hold in place any feeling,

Any thought,

Any sensation.

Just let everything vanish,

And notice how the vanishing happens effortlessly.

Allow everything to disappear,

Which it's going to do whether you allow it or not.

Notice how everything ends,

And then is reborn as the next instant,

And then ends again,

And then arises once more as something else.

Just appreciate the incredibly dynamic nature of experiencing,

The aliveness and vitality that shines forth as every moment.
