All things are the shimmering of Silence, which is also our own true nature.

Meditation teaches us that the essence of each and every thing is a shimmering of Silence. This Silence is a divine afterglow, a sacred bliss - a Silence which is also at the root of our own true nature. Because of this identification, we wake up to realize that all things - especially when we perceive their beauty and desirability - are actually the shimmering of our own true nature.
