i just had an encounter with a dakini in a bikini (i think) at the beach. She was 77 and as spritely and soft as a child and wise and kind like a mother. We had a chat about being loved and loving and she told me ALL of me was loved - at which i started to cry.... we talked about Jesus and Buddha being inside us. We talked about stillness and deep listening and the all knowing that arises from there, inside us. She called our encounter a 'divine encounter' and told me the rocks that we had both chosen to sit were a healing place. We parted without any attachment and a scent of silence . Afterwards i felt lighter and needed to be quieter. I have been running around alot - inside and out.
Later at home thinking about Buddha nature and the stillness and safety of that i saw in a different way how really being in the present moment fully awakened is the mechanism how we can help all beings at once. The present is the infinite - i dont have to run around to help, being still in the present moment is the miraculous key to helping everything. I suppose this may be called Ultimate Boddhichitta? I think this dakini in a bikini allowed my heart to crack open a bit more and then this thought could be understood more deeply. I will try not to forget it. Feeling deeply grateful for another dakini surprise in my life. EM A HO I love that Dakini ryhmes with bikini and often think about it haha!
Ahhh, LOVE it. Thanks for sharing!
A rare and precious encounter, indeed! Thanks for sharing.
