Therefore, as a working metaphoronly, we could say we are allBuddha (consciousness).The concept of non-duality andBuddhas and gods etc. appearswithin the bubble universe alongwith body-mind.These bubble universes floatin and on the consciousnessemptiness.The consciousnessemptinessappears on the Absolute,“where” there is no concept of aBuddha (no Buddha), nor a knoweror the concept or knowingness toknow them.In this way, there is no Buddhaoutside of the bubble universes inwhich Buddhas appear.The Buddha of the No BuddhaAbsolute appears as a bubbleuniverse, “As If” it is.Appreciating this brings the“realization”:That on which the Emptiness andthe bubble universes or realmsfloat is beyond unchanging. Itis the essential you-Buddha-157
NO Buddha, prior to “your”appearance.Yet it is not a thing, and itis that which can never be, orbecome, it is That which youalways are.You are your Buddha NaturePrior to the screen and the bubbleuniverse and the consciousnessemptinessand the awarer, theknowingness-awareness “resides”.All of that appears “within” the“Absolute”, like foam bubblesappearing on waves within theocean. The ocean knows nothingof the foam, bubbles, waves orcurrents. In the same way the“Absolute”, ocean, knows nothingof the foam bubbles, called “your”universe.Wave Thirteen:The Absolute WithoutAwareness: NO BuddhaThe Absolute and no Absolute.Master Nansen: “It has no mind, ithas no Buddha, it is not a thing.”158
