Pai-Chang

I liked this one haha short and sweet :) lol
It discussed similar ideas as the Hui-Hai but for some reason i liked this one better ha. I kinda ripped apart Hui-Hai :/ my bad. lol
But anyways..
"To behold the Buddha nature you must wait for the right moment and the right conditions." Well i think this is the case in most religions; waiting until your heart is prepared and ready for what God has in store for you. This may not be what was meant by the passage but that is what i interpret from it.
I really like the part that said "when the time comes, you are awakened as if from a dream." Recently I went on a retreat with the college group at my church and the title of the retreat was actually "awakened." so i definitely related to this. Well after the retreat me and all my peers felt the same way...refreshed and alive, like we had been "awakened from a dream." So obviously this is an idea that spans over multiple relgions.
The part i didnt agree with is "what you have found is your own and doesnt come from anywhere outside." I believe that this big realization does come from you in part because obviously you search inside yourself to find it but i dont believe the source is yourself.
Also, i do not believe that after enlightenment you are still the same. I know that ever since i became a Christian and fully opened up my heart to God I have never been the same and I never will be the same. My life is changed forever.
Lastly, I liked the line "When you have arrived at this recognition, please hold on to it." Holding onto a faith can be hard because you are holding on to something you cant see. But holding onto that recognition or faith is the best thing you could possibly do in your lifetime.
