' space, stillness, and silence '...

"A third gateway (“buddha” or “buddha nature”) is turning towards awareness itself.

Most of the time we are paying attention to the foreground of experience-to our thoughts, feelings and sensations.

What we are missing out on is the background of experience, the formless dimension of Being itself.

By asking questions like “What is aware right now?” or “What is knowing these sounds?” or “Who am I?” we begin to intuit our own presence or Beingness.

The signs of this presence are space, stillness and silence."
