Singing Image of Fire
A hand moves, and the fire's whirling takes different shapes:
All things change when we do.
The first word, "Ah," blossoms into all others.
Each of them is true.
- Kūkai [774-835]

what is. [for now, we know in part]
"Our ordinary waking consciousness is but one form of consciousness.
All around us lie infinite worlds,
separated only by the thinnest veils."
All around us lie infinite worlds,
separated only by the thinnest veils."
